When giving it all isn't enough..

What do you do when you feel you've given everything, yet you are asked to give more? When you feel worn out, tired, or just overwhelmed, how do you keep going? How do you walk another mile when you feel you can hardly finish the one you are walking now?

Sometimes you feel that you've given your all, physically, mentally, and emotionally, then another thing gets thrown at you. Or you are working so hard to do your best, and people let you down or rise against the good that you are doing. How to you keep going forward when it seems you are going alone and going upstream?

But what if HIS best for you is in the next task, the sleepless nights ahead, or in walking the next mile? 

I believe that Jesus kept walking, kept pressing on, and didn't turn back despite what others thought or how others treated him.  Even when those who once stood with him turned their backs, or worse, turned against what he was doing, he continued to do good because that is what his Father had asked.

It's a hard lesson to learn, but over and over again in life we are reminded to stay rooted in Christ alone and not in what others may say or do. So keep pressing on, doing your best to accomplish the task that HE has asked you to do. HE is faithful and will get you through it.

But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3
