Short Friendship Poems

Short friendship poems can be uplifting.

Encouragement

The lonely task
Was long and hard;
My joy was at an end.

Discouragement
Had all but won.
Until He sent a friend.

Robert Ogden

Christians find discouragement to be one of Satan’s top tools to hinder their service. I have a hard time thinking of a more potent weapon. I’m glad I Corinthians 10:13 is still in the Bible.

Discouragement is a lack of courage (dis-courage). It is not a symptom of a problem, it is a problem itself. Trust God to see you through your trials and temptations, and you'll not become discouraged.

When everyone seems to be against you though you know you are right; when loneliness threatens to undue your resolve to continue; when circumstances cry out,“Where is God when you need Him?”; know that God has not permanently left you. He is allowing you to be tested that you might grow in Him.

It is true that we are blessed by the companionship and caring of others. Their company dispels loneliness and temporarily drives discouragement away.

As we grow and learn to handle discouragement better from our experience, we become better able to go on the offensive and learn to encourage others.
