Well, as I sat down to try to type this I had the hardest time simply bringing up Microsoft Word on my desktop. My computer kept freezing on me. Hmmm…. You know the reason why? The devil doesn’t want to see people encouraged today.
Discouragement is something we all struggle with at some point in life. For me, I feel like it’s been threatening to hit hard the past couple months. But you know what? I’m determined to hit back and not let it win! Based on Facebook status updates, I’m guessing discouragement has been threatening to get some of you down as well.
I looked up discouragement in the dictionary and it said: “a loss of confidence or enthusiasm.” When you lose confidence and enthusiasm, you’re pretty much losing two of the most important things that allow you to really LIVE your life. Confidence is what keeps us going and taking on new challenges in life. Confidence gives us new opportunities. Enthusiasm is what keeps us motivated and excited to take on those new challenges. Discouragement pushes us into a pit in which once we are in deep, it is hard to climb out. Today I want to remind you of a few things considering discouragement.
