I thought you had to participate every time discouragement would show up.

Until one day, the Lord taught me through His Word, which says, "Do not be discouraged."

For the first time, I saw it as a command from God rather than a nice idea.

And for everything God commands us to do, He gives us power through the Holy Spirit to pull it off.

There are plenty of opportunities to be discouraged. Don't take any of them.

Discouragement is a thief. It never helps us overcome. It brings no benefit to our lives.

Discouragement doesn't deserve even one minute of your time.
