Encourage and be encouraged

Another thing I see in Paul in Romans 1:9-12 is that he 'longed' for the opportunity to encourage others. I believe this, along with sharing the Gospel, was one of his top priorities. This is an area where I would love to be like Paul. With the great group of people we've got involved in the Children's Ministry at our church, one of the goals I have is for us to be a force of encouragement for each other. I pray that God will use me to be an encouragement to you, and every time I get to be around our leaders, I end up being encouraged as well. Encourage others, and you yourself will be encouraged!
