JOHN
Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of Central United
Methodist Church. How often do you feel discouraged? Most people fight a
constant battle with discouragement. We become discouraged over
everything from missed opportunities to situations that may never happen
anyway.
It is easy to get discouraged, and as we read the Bible, many of our great
heroes faced and struggled with discouragement.
So, how do we overcome discouragement? The first step that we find in
Scripture is to realize that God is on our side. He is pulling for us, and it is
his desire for us to prosper and experience peace, love and joy.
Secondly we have to model this belief. There is nothing that lifts the spirit
more than a good word from another person. Just imagine that on your
worst day, what if everyone that you came in contact with encouraged you.
Our spirits would be lifted and our discouragement would fade.
So, why don’t you and I start the ball rolling and remind people that they
are loved by God. I invite you to visit us at Central UMC and live
encouraged.
