RISING ABOVE DISCOURAGEMENT

RISING ABOVE DISCOURAGEMENT

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick; but when dreams come
true at last, there is life and joy" (Proverbs 13:12,
TLB).

"These boys won't make it. Go back to Liverpool, Mr.
Epstein, you have a good business there." This is what a
recording company executive told the Beatle's manager at
their first audition!

"That kid can't play baseball. He can't pull the ball," is
what the manager of the Brave's Tripple A team said about
Hank Aaron in 1952. Aaron went on to hit 755 home runs,
breaking all previous records.

Remember, no matter what the critics say, in God's economy,
everybody has a purpose and everybody has something of
value to offer. Never give up until you know what your
talent is; then sharpen it, dedicate it to God, and give it
all you've got. Take courage. Nothing you do for God will
ever be in vain. Remember, too, that one of the greatest
ways we can serve God is by helping others--and every one
of us can do that every day.

Also, as long as what you are choosing to do is in harmony
with God's will, then dream big dreams, work hard, trust
God and in time you will reap what you sow and be richly
rewarded. Know your God-given dreams and keep hope alive no
matter what the setbacks and never ever give up.
