God appoints discouragement to produce dependence.

Quick Quote – Source – Mike Cowles

A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – How many people come to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as a successful adult? Instead, it is through adversity that He gets our attention, as we recognize how much we need Him. This is not a sign of weakness as the world would describe it. It is however a sign of dependence, born from discouragement that will bear eternal benefits, for us and those we touch.
