We don’t do good because we think God will love us more, or we’ll get on His good side, we just do good because God loved us. We are loved just as much as God loved Jesus, so we love Him back. Just like it is God’s nature to be good, when we receive our new nature through salvation, His goodness becomes a part of who we are. It should be as natural as breathing for us. God never gets weary of being good, and we shouldn’t either. There is a great verse in Galatians 6:9 that tells us not to grow weary in doing good, for in time we will reap a harvest of blessing, if we don’t get discouraged and if we don’t give up. So if you are getting tired, remind yourself, saying yes to God is the only way to live. As humans, we get very dependent on what we see and feel, but very often, things are happening even if you don’t see it with your natural eyes. How often do we give up just before the miracle happens? If we knew what was just beyond the mountain in our way, if we could see with our eyes of faith and not just with our natural eyes, we could see that break through is just around the corner. Don’t give up before your miracle comes. We know that living for God, and saying yes to him, affects not only now, but eternity. So keep on:
“Doing all the good you can
By all the means you can
In all the ways you can
In all the places you can
At all the times you can
To all the people you can
As long as you can!”
