Good Morning,

The writing for today talks about the need to not grow weary or lose heart in our activities to serve God. Sandy wrote, "Because God's Words says it and it pleases God,  I am choosing to not grow weary in doing good. I am fully aware in due season I shall reap gloriously if I do not lose heart."

"Do Not Lose Heart" 
Written by
Sandy Billingham

Yes, there are times that we just plain grow weary of what we are doing in our life. We know it is the best thing and we know we can can't stop, but weariness has a tendency to set in. We wonder to ourselves is it really worth it? Am I really making progress? Am I making a difference in my life and the lives of others? The answer is without a doubt... YES!!!

Scripture says... 

"And let us not grow weary 
while doing good,

 for in due season we shall reap 
if we do not lose heart."

Galatians 6:9

The weariness will come, but as we ask for God's strength to carry on, He shall grant that onto us. And if we do not lose heart we shall reap a harvest in doing good.

God always fulfills His promises . We do not have to wonder or guess if that shall come to pass, but we can go forth in doing good with great confidence knowing God shall bring everything to pass that He tells us He will.

There have been countless times in my life instead of doing the things God has set before me, I wanted to run the opposite direction. But I knew in my heart that I would not be at peace or content if I chose to not do what the Lord has shown me to. I knew I would regret and I would not be satisfied doing other things.

It is ministering onto the Lord and for Him that really matters in this life. Nothing compares to serving Him. Everything else is pale and fades away. I also know that God's ways and God's timing are perfect.

Because God's Words says it and it pleases God,  I am choosing to not grow weary in doing good. I am fully aware in due season I shall reap gloriously if I do not lose heart.

God's promises are fulfilling and never-ending!
