For discussion this week:
—In your life, name someone who has been an encouragement to you. How were (or are) they encouraging?
—Why is it important for us to reflect on encouraging truths, such as what we find in 1 John 2:12-14?
—How does it inspire you to know that each of these truths are statements of fact: that they ARE TRUE, not that they might BECOME TRUE?
