Downers

Its funny how we are affected by other people attitudes. You know those little comments that we blow off initially but they sit in the back of our mind just waiting for the chance to re-surface and discourage us.... I’ve learned in ministry that you can separate yourself from negativity to some extent but you can’t completely extract yourself from it altogether because you have to help lead people out of that mindset if you can. I believe some people are tragically stuck in a negative way of thinking and it is really hard to break free of it. I agree with Steven Furtick’s recent blog about fighting discouragement by encouraging others. I agree with him, I bet it ticks the enemy off when we encourage others instead discouraging them.
