Anyway...

Sometimes

You just don't know why you try anymore.

This World

It is overwhelming.

You work.
You give.
You help.
You encourage.
You over-extend.
You sacrifice.
You listen.
You love.

You.Stand.Firm.

Every now and then your encouragement goes unacknowledged.
Your work is unappreciated.
You are ignored.
Passed by.
Or perhaps, even
*gasp*
Unfriended.

Two Things:

1:
A wise man who helped me through a terribly dark time in my life told me this:
You do these things:
These acts of service, loving gestures, share words of encouragement and share Jesus,
Not to BE ok, but because you ARE ok.

Christ has made you ok.
Right-standing with God.
And that right-standing is what equips you to go out into the world and share Christ
In Love.
Christ.  
All we need.
He is our Redeemer.
And Sustainer.
And ultimately all we need in the 'approval department.'

2:
"Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers."~Galatians 6:8-9

Friends,
Don't give up.

This world is a negative dark place.
It is attacking our families.
It is trying to infiltrate the body of believers.

We must stay focused.
Encourage one another.
Keep our eyes on the prize.

We must not give up.

Not sure why  you do the good that you do?

Do it anyway.
