Hebrews 3:13 (New International Version)
13But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.

Build Eachother Up
Have you ever have someone give you a complement and it just made your day? It is amazing to me the glow someone can have after you tell them how pretty, kind, handsome, funny, etc... they are. Why don't we do it more. Why do we hold things back. We think they are awesome or we tell other people we think they are awesome but we don't tell them. It makes no sense. Sometimes it can be awkward to give a complement to someone, or we fell like they might find us odd. Though this may be true, shouldn't we be able to put ourselves aside for one moment to lift someone else up?

becca, you're awesome:)
So true!! I kick myself sometimes after I forget to tell someone they look nice because I don't want it to get awkward...or I don't want to make compliment-giving mundane -- or, even worse, insincere -- by complimenting too often.
It's a fine line to define. :\
I totally get what you mean about not wanting to sound insincere. People forget that they are wonderfully made and some people really do mean what they say.
