Joses was called Barnabas, a nickname meaning "Son of Encouragement". He was able to see others' potential and come alongside and help them when many were unable to see past the person's reputation. As God's people, we need to notice other's needs and develop the skill of encouraging them and helping to lift them up. Be sons and daughters of encouragement today.
