I’ve heard it said that “discouragement is an occupational hazard of ministry.” I think it is an occupational hazard of life. I have definitely had days where I couldn’t believe the junk I had to endure. Sometimes it was my own stupidity and sometimes I was on the receiving end of someone else’s. Let’s face it, “LIFE CAN BE TOUGH!” If you are in that place right now than read this over and over until you believe it.
“We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it.9 In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead.10 And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us.” 2 Cor. 1:8-10
read it again. and again.
Now get up and get going!
