God Is Never A God Of Discouragement. When You Have A Discouraging Spirit Or Train Of Thought In Your Mind, You Can Be Sure It Is Not From God. He Sometimes Brings Pain To His Children-conviction Over Sin, Or Repentance Over Fallenness, Or Challenges That Scare Us, Or Visions Of His Holiness That Overwhelm Us. But God Never Brings Discouragement.

He Sometimes Brings Pain To His Children-conviction Over Sin, Or Repentance Over Fallenness, Or Challenges That Scare Us, Or Visions Of His Holiness That Overwhelm Us. But God Never Brings Discouragement.
