"He encouraged all the believers in Antioch always to obey the Lord with all their hearts, and many people became followers of the Lord." v24

This struck me. He encouraged. He ENCOURAGED them to be Holy. He didn't preach down his nose at them and wield a stick.... He encouraged them. Ah....

I really want to be the kind of person who ENCOURAGES others to grow. Who builds them up and cheers them on, exercising the kind of grace that doesn't leave them where I found them, but encourages them one step further on their journey. And I want to be surrounded by those kind of people.
