Dare to be Supportive

Let us consider how to stir one another to love and good works.  – Hebrews 10:24

There is a tendency, when we have idea or a dream, to keep it to ourselves.  It’s not that we don’t want to share the idea with others, but we have learned not to share.  The reason we learn not to share is because people mess with our ideas and tell us they are impossible or foolish.  We share our heart with others and are told why it won’t work or why we can’t do it.

This is something we need to think through.  Is this the sort of people we want to be?  Do we want to be the people that deflate dreams?  Do we want to be the sort of people that cause others to stop trying?  I wonder what would happen if we began to believe in one another.  I wonder what would happen if we encouraged one another. 

We need to make it our goal to encourage people’s dreams.  We need to be the sort of people that equip, empower, and encourage others.  If we have the capability and the connections, we need to introduce people to others who might be able to help them get where they are going.  We might just be surprised what people can accomplish if they just have someone that believes in them.
