The Parable of the Sower Part 2

There is no sugar-coating that the pursuit of holiness is fraught with difficulties, resistance, and heartache. When we accept and follow Christ, we can expect discouragement and loss of confidence during our spiritual walk. However, the resistance that we face, the enemy we battle against, and the fight for our faith provides evidence that the Father's will is at work. It leads to breakthroughs in light of the trials and discouragement. For believers, discouragement through the lens of faith is an encouraging direction, and for seekers, the gospel is an invitation to realize their destiny in Christ who has overcome darkness.
