In this sermon Discouraged With Freckles, every person among us has felt the distress of discouragement. It has tugged at our hearts and dampen our spirits. The path you are walking with the Lord is designed to change you. Any goal that you are trying to reach will face a wave of discouragement. The path to the Promised Land is often marked by a long, circuitous route. It always starts and ends with much excitement. . . It is the middle that is difficult. At some point we are faced with the variables, the exceptions, the variations, and the shadows that seem to be constantly getting in the way.
