It is Jesus himself whom we, as Christians, serve. And since He deserves everything we can give Him, don't let anything (discouragement, opposition, or even your own unworthiness) stop you from continuing to serve Him.
"Discouragement comes readily enough to us poor mortals who are occupied in the
work of God, seeing it is a work of faith, a work of difficulty, a work above our
capacity, and a work much opposed. "
"Moreover, the enemy contrasts our work with that of others, and with that of those
who have gone before us. We are doing so little as compared with other people,
therefore let us give up. We cannot build like Solomon, therefore let us not build at
all. Yet, brethren, there is a falsehood in all this; for, in truth, nothing is worthy of
God. The great works of others, and even the amazing productions of Solomon, all fell
short of his glory. "
"Instead of being discouraged because what we do is unworthy of God, and
insignificant compared with what was done by others, let us gather up our strength
to reform our errors, and reach to higher attainments." -Charles Haddon Spurgeon
