the.com/encourager

The professional believer in you, fueled entirely by faith you haven't earned yet.

means A person who gives others courage, confidence, or hope — someone who urges you forward and props up your nerve.

from From the verb 'encourage,' which came into English in the late Middle Ages from Old French 'encoragier' — built from 'en-' (to put into) and 'corage,' meaning heart or spirit. So to encourage someone is, quite literally, to put heart into them; the 'corage' there traces back to Latin 'cor,' heart, the same root that beats inside 'courage' and 'cordial.' An encourager, then, is one who hands you their heart to borrow until you grow your own.
