Amy Carmichael – Edge of His Ways
I have always noticed that when God has purposes of blessing for some soul, the devil of discouragement, who is one of Satan‘s most useful servants, is sure to come and whisper all sorts of sorrowful, depressing, miserable thoughts.
He drops these thoughts about, sometimes in one heart and sometimes in another. If they take root and grow into feelings and words and deeds, he knows that a great deal has been done to hinder what our God intends to do.
Do not forget that discouragement is always from beneath encouragement is always from above; God is the God of Encouragement.
