Encouragement

I was reading in 1 Thess 3 this morning. It is an exert of Timothy's letter to the Thessalonians. It is an account of the encouragement that we are to be to others. In verse 9 is says "How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?" I want to be that encouagement to others. I want to impact the kingdom in a great way. That is what we are to be doing. Impacting the kingdom and encouraging those that have come to be believers. I have a great small group of girls in my youth group. A couple of them are new believers. I pray that I am that encouragement for them as they grow in their faith. They have really touched my heart and my life.
