I really enjoyed this story of Ben Crane at the Players Championship (which is coming up by the way). It's a real life example of someone receiving encouragement from a fellow brother in Christ . It highlights the importance of encouragement in our lives, specifically reminders of our identity in Christ. Jesus died on a cross to pay the penalty of our sin and in doing so also shows us the immense value by which you (and everyone else) were purchased. So what does God think of you? He gave his Son for you. Despite any life circumstance, that was the action He chose to show you how much He loves you and how much you are worth to Him. But we sometimes forget that and need to both encourage and be reminded of that fact whenever we can.
