Do not quit doing good!

(Gal 6:9) Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Whenever we are tempted to do less than our best in God’s work, or we are perhaps tempted to quit worshipping and serving God completely, we ought to remember this verse and the truths that it contains.
Whenever we find ourselves getting tired of or losing enthusiasm for the Lord's work, we need to remember these words.

Don’t quit! Pray not to become weary!
Be blessed with tenacity in working for God!

In preparing yesterday’s sermon, I came across this, from an anonymous writer:

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centred.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest pride.
Think big anyway.
What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you've got anyway!
