never give up

Luke 18:1 One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up. 2 "There was a judge in a certain city," he said, "who neither feared God nor cared about people. 3 A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying, 'Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy.' 4 The judge ignored her for a while, but finally he said to himself, 'I don't fear God or care about people, 5 but this woman is driving me crazy. I'm going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!'"
6 Then the Lord said, "Learn a lesson from this unjust judge. 7 Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don't you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man* returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith.

"...and never give up."

I have 2 people in my life for whom specifically, on 2 separate occasions, I have been given the promise from Galatians 6:9 "Don't become weary doing what is right. Don't get discouraged & give up. For we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time."

"Don't get discouraged & give up."

And this morning, He encouraged me again - "and never give up."

And I'm not gonna give up. The "appropriate time" for my "harvest of blessing" with these 2 guys may not happen until we all get to heaven. But sure do hope it happens soon, while we're all still here on earth. I just don't want them to miss in this life this incredible blessing I longing & praying they will embrace, that already exists in their life. All they have to do is accepts it.

Do you have someone or something you've been carrying for someone or something?

..."never give up" & "don't get discouraged & give up"

the harvest of this blessing you're seeking will come, someday.

I love y'all
