Encouragement can come in many forms from believers to other believers. It can also have an amazing effect on folks we barely know.

But I would not hesitate to give it if I thought there was the smallest chance that I could befriend, could share a burden, or lighten a load for another human being. It is a heart attitude toward others who are fellow travelers on the road to eternity. And it is a way to share Christ to those not on that road. Readers need the willingness to spend time with another, to be available often when very busy, and to be given to the Lord's things.
