How often do I give up on my morning, on my day, on my week, before it has really started? If the morning hasn't started out well, I think, 'Just get through class, then the day will be better.' So often, I get home around 8pm, collapse on my couch, and sigh, ‘I’m so happy to be done with this DAY!’ If Monday and Tuesday were hard, sometimes I forget about the potential good to be found in Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday- I'm just wishing for the weekend. Yes, I give up because of the negative things I've experienced. I forget about all the time I still have, which I could spend with people and even be encouraged.
It's the same way on a larger scale, as well, for life. Years and years of sin or abuse have a way of wearing us down and making us want to give up. There is nothing too big for God that He can't redeem. Whether its a yucky morning, a hard first half of the week, or a sinful first 40 years- God makes beauty from ashes. He can restore the years the locusts have eaten.
That's all......Just- don’t give up too soon. It ain’t over till it’s over. :)
