“When You Feel Like Giving Up”

Romans 5:3-4

Giving up is defined as to yield control or possession of; surrender; abandon; quit.

With Jesus help we can endure anything. Nobody told us it’s going be easy. The weapon may form but it shall not prosper. Peter instructed Christians suffering wrong for doing what was right, he encouraged them to “endure.” Jesus “endured the Cross” for us. We were the “joy” set before Him.  When Paul was writing to the church in Corinth, he told them that when he was persecuted, his response was to “endure it.”  God is good and He is faithful. He will give you what you need. We must endure, or patiently persevere. Keep close to Jesus. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. This will not last. There is hope. There is joy. While we may never fully get over our pain, we can grow through it. And by God’s grace, we can get through it too. 

I come by this late night to say, Lord we trust You. No matter what we have to go through, we will not give up. It’s not an option. When we’re unwilling to endure the hardship we miss out on the future harvest God has for us. Be bless and I love you!!! JE
