Do you ever feel like giving up? Sometimes life gets so busy with work, family, and ministry commitments that we might want to give up. God promises strength for the weary and blessings if we persevere.
Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in. ~Galatians 6:9
Have a great weekend!
