Awesome Stefano. Holy Spirit blessed you with this word. Dovetails with my reading "Brokenness" by Nancy Lee DeMoss.

"perfectly loved, eternally forgiven, and a one-of-a-kind masterpiece made out of love, for love, by love Himself." - loved this line... and the whole thing. Thought-provokingly true. Discouragement IS an unhealthy focus with self, and a lack of surrender... so stay humble!

Thank you Stefano!

I love your Youtube!! Weird that I've been thinking about getting on Youtube lately. Just hope I could be as videogenic as you.🥲 And yes, Stefano, flesh and bone didn't tell you this but the Holy Spirit—the antidote to discouragement is humility. Humility is how we get close to God.

Thank you, Alice! I really enjoyed making videos on YouTube. I’m taking a break from it right now, but I plan to return to it soon. If you’ve been thinking about it, I’d say go for it! No need to compare yourself to me or anyone else, just be yourself and you’ll be great.

Absolutely beautiful. I hung on every word.

“The antidote to discouragement is not encouragement, it’s humility.”
