SON SHINE 810: DISCOURAGED
She was beginning to regret having led the lady to Jesus, wondering whether the growing antagonism towards her in the neighbourhood, was worth this pain in fulfilling the Great Commission. This “Samaritan” had led deeply troubled lady to the Lord, after she received a miracle when she took her to church. But those who saw what was unfolding, mobilised for a physical response. They invested in getting the healed lady back to her old ways, and turned an act of love, to a weapon of war against one who only tried to help.
“But even in case you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, [you are] blessed (happy, to be envied). Do not dread or be afraid of their threats, nor be disturbed [by their opposition].”- 1 Peter 3: 14 (Amplified Bible)
Thank you Jesus, for coming to suffer for a crime you didn’t commit
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.

Sometimes, the devil might not only use other people to discourage one, he might even decide to use the same person you helped just like the story of the 10 lepers in the Bible Jesus healed but only one came to give thanks, it is important one does not get discouraged but believe that whatever good he’s doing to another, he’s doing to God also.
