DON'T LOSE HEART
Let us not become weary in
doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially
to those who belong to the family of believers.
Galatians 6:9-10 NIV
Many Christians have been
hurt because they showed kindness to someone who didn't even bother to say
thank you. We have many saints in the body of Christ who give themselves for
their churches but no one seems to recognize their contribution.
We have many wives and
mothers who work hard day and night to make each member of the family feel
comfortable but no one seems to appreciate their efforts. We have fathers and
husbands who work hard and stay late at work that they can earn more in order
that their families may live decent lives. No one seems to care and sometimes
they end up being treated harshly with their spouses.
I have learnt that each one
of us needs a little bit of appreciation from others especially those we love.
When you do good things to people and they fail to show appreciation; you don't
stop and start doing the opposite. You continue doing what you are doing
knowing that God sees you; and in due time you will reap a harvest if you do
not give up.
This morning, I want to
encourage to continue doing good things to others and learn to appreciate small
things that others do for you. Life involves the process of giving and
receiving. There are some people who gave out love but they did not receive
anything in return. This should not stop you on loving someone else because so
and so rejected you.
If you loved someone who did
not love you back, don't lose heart. That seed of love that you planted in that
person and did not grow. It instead grew in you that's why you were able to let
that person go without hate. God will someday bring someone who will appreciate
and accept your love. I want to encourage you to continue being good and doing
good this year. Don't let disappointments get the better of you, do the will of
God in your life and God will open let you live to reap a harvest.
****Morning Prayer****
Pray this prayer with me by
faith and God is going to answer your prayer....
Dear Father, I thank You for
your word. Help me to continue doing good to others regardless how I may be
treated with them. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
