Beyond discouragement
As Christians we have a lot to celebrate, yet sometimes even the most devout believers may become discouraged, after all we live in a world where expectations can be high and demands can be even higher. When we fail to meet the expectations of otehrs (or for that matter, the expectations that we have for ourselves) we may be tempted to abandon hope. But God has other plans. He knows exactly how He intends to use us. Our task is to remain faithful until He does.
God is a God of possibilities, not negativity.
2 Chronicles 15:7 says But as for you, be strong: dont be discouraged, for your workhas a reward.
Just as courage is faith in good, so discouragement is faith in evil, and while courage opens the door to good, discouragement opens it to evil--Hannah Whitall Smith
The strength that we claim from Gods Word does not depend on circumstances. Circumstances willbe difficult, but our strength ill be sufficient--Corrie Ten Boom
When we reach the end of our strength, wisdom and personal resources, we enter into the beginning of his glorious provisions--Patsy Clairmont
Overcoming discouragement is simply a matter of taking away the DIS and adding EN- Barbara Johnson
