Discouraging…

The challenge for myself last week, was to put away gadgets for a day.  For the most part I did very well.  My wife and I took a mini vacation and I did send a few text messages but I did not check emails or Facebook or anything else.  So overall I consider that one small step in the right direction for me.  I hope that you were able to accomplish your goal as well.

 

Now on to this weeks topic…

 

Maybe you feel a bit discouraged lately.  Maybe God has placed something on your heart either for yourself or for someone else that you know, and nothing you do seems to make a difference.  No matter what you try or what they try, it doesn’t break the cycle.

 

So what do you do? My first reaction was to see what the good ol’ Bible says about discouragement.

 

John 16:33 ESV
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.

 

That is refreshing to hear.  I know that God has a plan for me and if I keep doing what I feel him calling me to do, somehow, someway, it will make a difference.

 

I hope you all had a good Easter and God bless!
