Discourage Much?

I had a discussion with my Youth Minister today and I realized how much I’ve grown. My initial response if I was younger would have been to yell and withdraw; now I take it in and learn from it. I was told that my heart didn’t seem in the ministry. I tell you that I actually tried not to laugh. I love being apart of the Youth President; but I have learned that it’s God that is seeing my work and knows my heart. So it doesn’t matter if someone doesn’t think my heart is in it or not; it’s what God knows. I want to tell you not to let people discourage you but encourage YOURSELF in the Lord. Be blessed.

Old Habits Die Hard

I need to remind myself that a lot lately. There are many people in my life that are not saved and are accustomed to doing things a certain way. My problem is that I have let them for so long unaware that now I have to catch myself and point it out for them. The reality is that it’s going to take a while for them to start to slowly curb themselves but I feel it will be worth it because I will be able to grow spiritually.
