Dear Steemians,
Many of us here today have been victims of discouragement in this contemporary word, For many of us, discouragement has been the result of unexpected happenings, things turning out differently from the way we expected them.
Many who join this great community, might have been wondering what is happening with steem or crypto currencies as a whole some few days ago when everything "Turned Red" but let me remind you, there are many who invested everything they had on steemit, there are some who sells their properties and put/hold/invested such money on steemit, they are here at worse moment, when steem was performed worsen, still they do not give up on steemit, but they rather believe one day things will turn out good for steem. By now those who choose to wait and hold their steem (money) on this platform will reap the rewards of their patience and more rewards are coming.
Many of us get discouraged because certain things that happen to us were not prepared for. We did not expect those things to happen to us. We did not expected to be treated this way. That was what happened to Moses during the wilderness journey. Here was a man who had given his life lead his people to the promise land. But in the last days of his life God took him to a mountain, and told him to look at the Promised Land ahead. He was to look only but not to taste it.
That was discouragement and disappointment. Moses would be the best man to speak on this subject today. But discouragement is inevitable, and every ones of us must be prepared at all times for its coming.
Not too much long ago gathering at home town for a funeral service. During the closing prayer before the funeral precession which was to take the deceased to his hometown, some thirty miles away, prayer were said for the family. A special plea was made to God to protect people in the funeral precession from any accident that might claim lives.
But before the precession had reached its destination, an accident on the road had claimed one life, that of the man who was very close to the bereaved family. Some people wondered why God should disappoint us like that. Others have asked whether it was necessary to pray to God for protection before embarking on any journey.
Our enemy would use discouragement either to destroy initiative or render a person useless and disillusioned.
Discouragement has led many young man and many young lady from getting married because they are living witnesses to several marriages, even among the most enlightened people, which have hit the rocks and become disintegrated.
Those who are discouraged from getting married say they see men and women of high academic standing for cheap sex. But refusal to marry does not solve the problem of moral laxity in any society. It rather complicate it and encourages it.
My Point of View:
Don’t be discourage, for discouragement brought continuous failures in life. Steemit platform is progressing and nothing can stop that. As we all hope for Steem Better.... Keep Steeming........
Thanks for reading.
