Encouragement!

1 Thessalonians 5:11.

Encourage one another and build each other up.

As you near the end of a long race, your legs ache, your throat burns, and your whole body cries out for you to stop. This is when friends and fans are most valuable.  Their

encouragement helps you push through the pain to finish the line.  In the same way, Christians are to encourage one another.  A word of encouragement offered at the right moment can be the difference between finishing well and collapsing.  Look around you.  Be sensitive to others’ need for encouragement and offer supportive words or actions.
