Doing Good
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
– 1 Corinthains 13:7
Something that is becoming more and more clear to me is this: Love hangs on. It perseveres and continues. It never gives up.
The reason love doesn’t give up is because it is connected to hope. The hope is that God knows us, cares for us, and will see us through.
Keep doing right, even when it hurts. So many people give up just before their breakthrough. When in the furnace of affliction, hang on. Today may be hard, but another day is coming.
There is a time when every last tear will be wiped away and we will once again be with Him. We groan and pant for you Lord God. Help us to stay faithful to you through the good and the bad. Help us to hang on.

Because we’re going through our lives, and we’re trying as hard as we can, and things just seem to always blow up in our faces, and we keep going, ‘God, God, why?’ We don’t know what he’s doing. So just let him do it. If you really believe he’s good, then let him do it. People always say, ‘I don’t know where the Lord is leading me.’ I always say, it don’t really make a whole lot of difference. The important thing is to be where he has led you to already. If he has led you into a marriage, then be faithful there. If he has led you into being single, then be faithful there. If he has blessed you with many material goods, then be a good steward of those goods. And if he has blessed you by allowing you to imitate his life of poverty, then imitate it with great joy.
