Encouragement is crucial. To build up a people, they must know that they matter; that they have purpose. A people without purpose is a people who lack motivation, drive, and energy. When they have a purpose, they need to know how well they are fulfilling it.
We compare. It is our nature. We look to people we respect and vie for response. Am I doing well? Did I make a difference? Was I needed? Could you have done it without me?...
Questions flood our minds when we complete something we were designed to accomplish.
They only dissipate when we hear: "Well done." "Thank you." "You did great."
Because deep down, we were designed to do great things. We were designed to do them well. We were designed to be loved and encouraged.
