You never know who you are discouraging. Always encourage. Sometimes the logical and reasonable thing is the exact thing that is the discouragement. Clap, applaud, love by faith and not by sight! If you have been discouraged lately continue to press, continue to fight. Don’t let anything stop you from what you were created to do. I know that it looks like it won’t happen but God knows and He is standing right there with you giving nuggets of encouragement to keep you moving.
