Me Give Up?

Me Give Up?

Many of us become discouraged when we face even the least difficulty. This causes us to give up, and thus fail at many tasks to which we are assigned. The following are words from an unknown author but whose words ring true about a Christian life.
“Shall I give up because I am tired and discouraged; because I have failed and no one seems to care? Ah, just let me wait and rest awhile and then go on. Shall I submit when I’m tempted and tired? Surrender? Never while I live. I’ll not give up when I’m fallen; lie there and cry and die; be hated and forgotten. I’ll rise, honestly and admit my failure and try again.
I’ll not stop when I get old. Positively no. I may not march at the front of the line, but I’ll march.
Me give up? Only when Jesus says ‘Tis done.’ Me give up? When breath is gone, when heart is stopped, when strength and life is no more. Me give up? Yes. I will some day, when God assigns a greater task.”

This expresses the true Christian’s attitude toward his work and the work of God. Does it fit your concept of life? Let us remember the words of Paul when he said, “And let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9
Galatians 6:7 “Be no deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
This means there will be a payday some day. Our main task is to remain faithful over the few things to which we have been appointed.

Jesus gave up heaven went to a Roman cross shed his life’s blood that we might be saved. He never gave up on me how can I give up on Him? A greater love hath no man than he give his life for his friends. Yes we get down sometimes. Yes we think we can’t go on. God never leaves us we leave Him. He is right there by our side ready to offer a hand up. If you don’t know the Lord He still loved you and sent His son to die for you. If you are saved but have wandered away you can still stand up. I saw a quote on Face Book that I think says it all. No matter how many steps you have taken to go away from God it only takes one step to get back.
