God has a harvest of blessing in mind for you (Psalms 37:4). Do not let if be destroyed by discouragements which will eventually lead you to give up. Trust God. He is able to put you over.

Time has a way of wearing us down - of eroding our hopes and dreams. We must look to God for strength and courage and refuse discouragement. We must, with God's help, overcome - instead of being overcomed by life and circumstances.

Life is not easy. There are obstacles and unexpected turns in the road. But God is with us, for us, and in us as believers in Jesus Christ. When we grow weary in doing good, it is always because we are losing sight of God and eternity.

As you walk in faith and refuses to give up - you bring glory and pleasure to God. Imagine how it thrills God when someone like you, continue to trust in HIM and thank Him - even when it does not look like it is working out very good.

Read the Bible. You are not the first to be tested, or have to wait for the promise to be manifested. But God is always faithful. He will NEVER fail you.
