but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. :)

Here's some good learnings for us to check it out!
Take just 2mins to read and it can change you.
"If you still believe that with God all things are possible, you owe it to yourself and to the people in your sphere of influence to determine each and every day to keep your level of faith-based optimism high.
In other words, you simply cannot allow what "wrecks" you to wreck you. You can't let the "discontent" part of your holy discontent discourage or depress you. One of the most valuable lessons coming out of those ultra-difficult reasons was that I am the only one who can keep my hope meter high. Likewise, only you can keep you hope meter high.
It's an issue of self leadership.
Sure, it would be nice to outsource that little task to your boss, friend, family member, pastor, leaders, shepherds, but in the end, they cannot do it for you.
It's between you and God alone." -Bill Hybels
As what Ps Jeff shared on Intentional Discipleship, Being Responsible for our own Spiritual Life is KEY.
