DON'T GIVE UP

How often do we need to hear, ‘DON’T GIVE UP!’⁠

It’s crazy how much I need that reminder and thankfully it always comes right when I need it, again and again.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
You’d think I’d have this one figured out by now.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I don’t.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Do you? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The roller coaster of ups and downs is legit! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This isn't a problem, it's normal!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We’ve got to keep pressing on in the work we're called to, remembering that these doubts and feelings and questions are all normal.⁠ Just means we have a heartbeat!
⁠⠀
Whatever it is you’re trying to do, keep doing it.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If it was easy everyone would do it.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Just because it’s hard doesn’t mean there’s a problem. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
“So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever.” (2 Cor 4:16-18⁠ msg)
⁠⠀
Keep going my friends!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
You are covered in extravagantly sufficient grace for all you are facing!⁠⠀
