When your heart is open to receive the word of God, that is when you can truly encounter change in your life and grow spiritually. Recently, I have been struggling with being discouraged.  Because of this great calling on my life, I’ve been so focused on my personal growth in this consecrated season of my life. It has been a struggle, because I feel like I haven’t seen the change in me or felt God’s presence like I have wanted to.  God gave me a word last night out of Joshua 1:1-9 that spoke to me about not being afraid or discouraged, but to know that where ever I set foot, God will be right there walking with me.  He said that He will never leave or abandon me, to be strong and courageous in the lord because I am the one who will lead His people one day.
