When it appears that every one of your enemies, both known and unknown, are lined up taking simultaneous and calculated shots at you, allow your Faith to waiver NOT! When parts of your past continue to rear their likeness, ugliness and wickedness unto you, turn away from the temptation of the enemy of responding in the manner in which they seek. Just because they allow the enemy to USE them, does not mean that you have to follow the same path and allow the enemy to USE you.
Wherever you go, whomever it is with, and whenever it is, know that God will be WITH you.
"Do Not Be Discouraged!"
If you were NOT of the right ilk and cut from an invaluable cloth, they would not want a piece of you. They would actually want nothing to do with you. But when your representation is built on the foundation that can withstand the evil penetration of the fabrication of truth, continue to stand on the only thing that does matter, the Truth!
"Do Not Be Discouraged!"
When former friends turn to enemies, thank God for revealing the snakes when He compelled you to cut the grass that you already thought was well manicured to begin with. See people for who and what they REALLY are, and be not dismayed when they fade to black and continue their onslaught and perpetual attacks. But know, ONLY what we do for Christ will EVER last!
"Do Not Be Discouraged!"
In the darkest and loneliest of places, Seek His Face so that He may reveal Himself to you more as you go deeper into His presence. Seeking Him halfheartedly will yield you the same results. Likewise, Seeking Him Wholeheartedly will yield the same results.
"Do Not Be Discouraged!"
Use your time in His Holy Presence as a time of reflection, an opportunity to deposit all of your weaknesses unto Him, so that you may renew yourself in His likeness and withdraw from His Strength.
The Collage of Righteousness that paints your portrait is far Greater than the "sketch" that the enemy has drawn of you.
Believe in the Faithfulness of God! He will take you THROUGH it, irrespective of however you came TO it! Whatever He allows to happen to you will only sharpen you as an asset within His Kingdom! For it is only preparation that you will undertake prior to your promotion. Consider it OJT (On-the-Job-Training)! Imagine what your resume will read like, if the Lord is training you to fight within His Army.
Therefore, "Do Not Be Discouraged!"
God, Love, And Smile Always!
