How do you encourage people?

Dear GraceNationMiniss. Jesus gave us good advice in Matthew 22: 35-40: " The first and great Commandment is:
Love God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. The second is like it: love thy neighbour as thyself." In verse 40 we are told: On these two Commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets. That is straightforward and easy to remember. God is Love and God wants loving sons and daughters. In Matthew 7: 7-10:
we are told: " Ask and you shall receive," here we ask for Love and Joy, then thank God and share all love and joy with our neighbour. Keep asking and receiving, then thank God and share all love and joy with our neighbour.
(neighbour is all we know and all we meet, friends and not friends) God will see our loving efforts, and God will bless us. We might stumble and forget at times, but then we ask God to forgive us, and carry on loving and caring, and being friendly and helpful.
The Bible tells us: " Repent and be Born Again, give up our selfish wishes and wants, and be loving and caring.
The Holy Spirit will help and guide us, and Jesus our Saviour will lead us all the way: JESUS IS THE WAY.
A Christian`s weapon is love, with love we will overcome all enmity and wrong behaviour. Satan and his followers will run away from all love and kindness. We let our love encourage all around us, love will always be the victor. It may take a bit longer, but Love is always victorious. I say this with love, GraceNationMiniss. Greetings from Emmy, your sister in Christ.

I just want some view points on how you encourage people in your lives?

First, it begins with listening to them. Truly listening, not just hearing, but listening. Figure out what it is that truly ails them. Figure out what their concerns are. Figure out what they want and need.

Then help them while being honest and sincere,. Help them reach their goals and give them hope and support.

Be non-judgmental when you can. Try to identify those instances where being right isn't as important as just being supportive.

Lastly, try to lead by example.

People are also encouraged when they see you practicing what you preach

First of all know the obstacles of the people then try to control their negative thoughts. Make them believe in themselves.
