Why this passage?

II Corinthians 8:22 “In addition, we are sending with them our brother who has often proved to us in many ways that he zealous, and now even more so because of his great confidence in you.” You and I have the ability to encourage or discourage.  Do you have a child, a friend, a spouse, or even a grocery store clerk who is affected by the way you treat them?  Yes, you do.  Everyone you come in contact with is affected by you and by your attitude toward them.  Try today making an effort to honestly encourage everyone you come in contact with and you will find your day will be filled with joy.  Test that truth!
