It is so easy to see what our mate or children are not doing to make us happy. The different things they do which annoy us jump out at us. Yet, we are called to never stop doing good. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9). What a promise. We will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Does this encourage your heart? I hope so. If you are facing a challenge but are tempted to pull back, don’t do it. Press on, continuing to do good because a bountiful harvest awaits you.
