Over the TopMuestra
The story of Tony Hawk's perseverance and eventual success in landing a 900 is one of the coolest moments in extreme sports history. There are whole documentaries about it. In addition to being a testament to the power of perseverance and practice, it also shows the power of encouragement. Even after failing for years, he continued to try and almost gave up. But during one competition, the encouragement of his friends and a supportive crowd gave him the boost he needed to go over the top. The impact of their encouragement was enough to renew his determination and ultimately help him accomplish what he had been working toward for his entire career.
Similarly, in 1 Thessalonians 5:11, Paul emphasizes the importance of encouraging one another in the face of adversity. He recognized that the journey of following Jesus was not easy and that it would require continual support and motivation from others. Paul believed that encouraging words had the power to sustain and uplift followers of Jesus even in the most difficult of circumstances.
Your encouraging words, especially when they are followed up with action, have the potential to make an incredible impact on others. Your kind words may help someone push through a hard moment or simply take a good day to a great one. They cost you nothing to give but can mean everything to the person receiving them.
So, what is stopping you from being generous with your encouragement wherever you go?

Have you ever seen an action movie where the stunts became more and more outrageous? Each stunt gets more extreme as the movie continues to push the limits of what to expect. What if that same mindset inspired us to live differently in our lives? What if we looked to God for ways to be extreme and do the unexpected in places like generosity?
