Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.

This is a ministry of striving for eternity. When we think about encouragement, maybe some of us can think of that person, someone in our life, that we, when we just think about them, it's like, wow, that person is so encouraging.

00:28

You know, one of the amazing ways that you can do something to encourage people, especially people you don't see very often or meet once and then you see them again, maybe even a year later, is to remember their name.

00:43

It's an amazing thing. I'm horrible at this. I'm trying to work on it, but it is amazing.

00:49

You know, one of the things that encouraged me when I got to meet Kirk Cameron is the second time

00:55

I met him, he not only remembered my name, he remembered a conversation that we had.

01:02

In fact, every time I saw him, he would remember details of things we've talked about.

01:07

He'd remember my name, be able to spot me in a crowd of people. And that is something that amazed me because I mean, he meets so many people.

01:17

So what it does for the individual is you go, wow, that person took the time to remember my name.

01:25

So if you are someone who meets a lot of people, it becomes really difficult. But a simple thing of really encouraging people is remembering details, remembering things about them.

01:38

This is one thing that I try to do is to pray for people and in praying for them regularly, it helps me to remember details of what we discuss and it helps me to encourage them the next time
