For me, 1 Thessalonians is a great source of encouragement. I love that this sort of encouragement can be found in God’s word so plainly. Chapter 3:11-12 states, “Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.” Paul encourages the believers with not only the love of Christ, but the love he feels for them. He really emphasizes that believers should support and love each other. Yet even when the human encouragement of your friends, family, or congregation fails, we can always find assurance in scripture.
