Great things are happening......great things are happening! BAM!
Galations 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap,
if we faint not.
When we serve, our hearts should be so to honor God. I've had to battle for this like nobody's business. It's hard to take the punches, it's hard to help when you don't feel like it, it's hard to bless others when you know they wouldn't return the favor. But, there's peace in knowing that what we do isn't about the what but about the how. God blesses us when our hearts' desire is to honor him even when no one is looking. When it's hard, we're confronted with our flesh. It becomes easier when our hearts are attuned to God's. C'mon people don't grow weary in helping others. One of the things I'll never forget my mom telling me, "Serita, whenever you give something to someone don't expect them to give it back to you. Just know that what you gave made God smile and that He's gonna bless you because you blessed them".
Also, right along with this...to stand for truth, purity, love, kindness and humilty is HARD. To try walk Holy and upright is tough. Every day I'm confronted with good vs not so good. There are times when I don't want to do good to people or even to myself. I get tired of seeing people abuse others, take advantage of, ignore others feelings, or just flat out show no utter regard for anyone other than themselves. So that makes me, at times, want to care and do less. I get tired of feeling like I have to do the right things because other people won't. And, then I'm reminded of how much my life is scoped by the eyes of God. I'm reminded of having to give account of all of my actions and pre-actions. I don't always want to do good, and I don't....but I repent lol.
