“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

(Galatians 6:9 ESV)

“I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”

(Philippians 4:13 ESV)

“For nothing will be impossible with God.”

(Luke 1:37 ESV)

Everyone has bad days. Don’t give up. Pause. Rest. Reset. Restart. But never give up. Always pick yourself up and keep going.

According to Oxford Languages, to give up is to “cease making an effort; resign oneself to failure.” I know several people who would rather give up or not make an effort because they think they will be hurt. But if you don’t at least try, how will you know? 

I have given up on a few things in my life. Dieting is one thing. I am doing somewhat better at it now, though. I try to do my best at being the best me possible. I don’t always succeed, but I keep going. 

Jesus wants us to keep going. He never gave up, and neither should we. The world would be such a better place if we were all nice to each other. I challenge you this year. Make a difference. Don’t get discouraged or give up. Let’s see if we can change our little piece of the world.

Have a blessed day, everyone.
