Why Do I Even Bother?

Interesting how much we care for our people, our tribe surrounding us with sometimes very little in return as far as concern for themselves.  So why do we even bother with people! Really, the blood, sweat, and tears especially poured into our family and close friends.  It feels so pointless at times when you see paths they are choosing and nothing you say is sinking into their thick skulls. 

To answer this, I need to think about how my Heavenly Father things about me...Isn't it the same?  Don't we see memes saying that our guardian angels are thumping their foreheads in dismay at our choices.  I tell you what I know mine has had a hay day at times with me.  But yet, God never stops! He never stops picking me up, dusting me off, and reminding me who He is and most importantly who I am in Him. 

Let's be a body of people who never give up on the things that glorify God.  He is all we have in this world that is constant and full of truth, and even loves us at our worst.  Share this beautiful sentiment to those around you.  Will we be exhausted?  Yes, probably more than we could ever imagine.  Nonetheless, we will be fulfilling our destiny to God's people and leaving a legacy to our family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors.

Lord, Jesus.  I am amazed at how much you love me even spite my shortcomings.  Going through the trials of life now is hard, but it isn't any harder than what you have brought me out of in the past.  I have experienced your blessings while being obedient, your healing, your provision and all while knowing that it could only be a miracle to walk through to the other side.  I ask, even now as I type to you, for more territory for my children and husband.  I ask that they would experience you in such a mighty way that NO ONE and NOTHING could sway them from you.  Place a deep desire in them to know you and to lean to you all situations.  Lord, I need your strength and your mighty wisdom each day to make the decisions that would impact my family.  Place me around strong, Godly people that know your word and promises for our lives.  When I'm spinning and feel like giving up, run down and grab me before I make terrible mistakes with my words or actions.  You are my Savior, my Creator, my Healer, my Provider, my Wisdom and Knowledge.  In you I can do all things.  Amen.
