When We Lose Heart By Susie Larson “Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he who is not offended because of me.” - Luke 7:22-23 When John the Baptist sat in prison, most likely knowing that his execution was imminent, he battled a dark season of discouragement and doubt.
