Jesus is even hoping to inspire those who once were filled with dreams, passion, and fire, people who started out believing that God was going to use them in a mighty way.

But, after having experienced one disappointment and beat-down after another, they have decided that it was just some kind of selfish pride or some misunderstanding about God’s plan for their lives. Their concern for the enormity of the needs around them and the lack of success in their ministry have taken their toll on whatever dreams and aspirations they have had.

The key to think about is the fact that Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and a host of others went through these same things you are going through now. The difference between those who waited faithfully and those who stopped believing, is the end-success of the lives and ministries of those who refused to stop believing.

Gal 6:9 (NIV) Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Be willing to be re-inspired, willing to hope and believe again; and see if the Bible has the answer to what was missing in your first attempts. It did for me.
