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. ✨ John Ortberg (2011). If You Want to Walk on Water Get Out of the Boat, p.201, ReadHowYouWant.com
