Crossroads | Crossroads of Discouragement

Discouragement is a plague sweeping the country today. This outbreak is as dreadful as any other epidemic known to man.

Andy Drymalski, a psychologist says, "Discouragement steals hope and undermines your faith in the value and purpose of life. With cynicism, it sows seeds of bitterness and resignation. It sours you to life. True to its name, it relieves you of your courage, a precious gift of the heart. Discouragement is your enemy, the enemy of humanity, and of nature herself".----more----

As we stand at the crossroads of discouragement, getting discouraged is one of the two choices in front of us.  If you choose, you can give in to it. But courageous people simply refuse to be discouraged. They don’t give up, even in the face of fatigue, or frustration, or fear, or failure, because their strength and confidence is found in Christ alone. Courageous people are just ordinary people who are relying on God for courage.
