Chris.
Be encouraged to press on! We all face times when we feel like giving up and quitting. Sometimes we cannot understand why things happen. There are other times when other people wound or discourage us and we do not feel like pressing on. We need good Fellowship with people who are spiritually healthy True Believers, in that kind of Fellowship we can find encouragement to press on.
