What to Say | 87 Encouraging Messages
Do you ever wish you had just the right words to encourage a friend?
Sometimes it’s hard to know what to say when someone is celebrating, grieving, or struggling.
I created this list of 87 encouraging messages to help YOU spread joy to those you care about. (I even included emojis so you don’t have to find them!)
As Christians, we know the Bible tells us to,
“…encourage one another and build one another up…” 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (ESV),
and,
“Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.” Proverbs 16:24 (ESV)
“This world has TOO MUCH encouragement!” said no one, ever!
Friend, the truth is, there are so many people who need hope, joy, and strength to face hard things, and a friend to remember to celebrate the good things. If you are a Christian, then you have what they need! It only takes a few seconds to copy an encouraging message and send it.
Will you reach out and encourage someone today?
You can copy and paste these messages just as they are, or tweak them to fit your needs.
