An excerpt from "Place For Truth.org" entitled, "Biblical Encouragement" by Christina Fox, states:
1. It is spiritual.
A. "Biblical encouragement is not focused on what a person is capable of within themselves, but rather in what the Spirit is doing in them."
2. It is Christ centered.
A. "Encouragement reminds the sorrowful of the Man of Sorrows who knows and hears their pain."
3. It builds.
A. "Biblical encouragement has, 'unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind" (1 Peter 3:8)
4. It is often silent.
A. "Biblical encouragement doesn't have all the answers." "It often encourages just by being present."
