Do not grow weary!

Let us not lose heart in doing what is good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. - Galations 6:9

Galations 6:9 has been the verse of this season. Do not grow weary. Many sleepless nights have faded by, and my body feels the weight of it. Meal times have passed and my stomach stayed empty, no appetite at all. My quiet times are distant and distracted at best. Every part of my physical and spiritual body feels the effects of this season.

Still, in God's strength alone, I press on. Ministry is everywhere and in everything. There are always places to serve and to be used by God. There are days when I wake up, if I had slept at all, and I have to look deep within to find the energy to get up. Some days I feel as though there isn't much to look forward to, apart of the challenges of the season. I feel myself begin to grow weary.

I spent some time doing some soul searching, asking some hard questions and I found that it is not the challenges that are causing me to lose heart, but the neglect in my most important relationship. I have my best friend, my lover, my savior living within me, yet I don't always talk to Him. I don't always just rest with Him. Infact, lately I've been struggling to do that at all.

Do not grow weary! I can't grow weary when I'm connected to Him. There's nothing I need when I'm in His presence, when I'm in His arms. I need to spend more time with Him.
