Barnabas, a man whose name meant " Son of Encouragement", was a leader in the early Christian church. He was known for his kindness and for his ability to encourage others. Because of Barnabas, many people were introduced to Christ. And today, as Believers living in a different world, we must seek to imitate the " Son of Encouragement".
We imitate Barnabas when we speak kind words to our families and to our friends. We imitate Barnabas when our actions give credence to our beliefs. We imitate Barnabas when we are generous with our possessions and with our praise. We imitate Barnabas when we give hope to the hopeless and encouragement to the downtrodden.
Today, be like Barnabas: become a source of encouragement to those who cross your path..When you do so, you will quite literally change the world, one person --- and one moment --- at a time....
