“Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means ‘son of encouragement’), sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles’ feet.”
Acts 4:36-37 (NIV)

Excerpt:
Barnabas didn’t care about who got the glory. He cared about building God’s Kingdom and encouraging God’s people. Never underestimate the power of encouragement. It can help a shy kid like me get involved in youth group. It can stand next to a world changer like Paul and exclaim, “You can do it!”
Lord Jesus, thank You for believing in me. Help me to be more like Barnabas, an encourager. Give me compassion for others, and show me who I can encourage today. Speak through me to lift others up, especially in my family and workplace. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
