Never Give Up (Middle School)Sample

It can be easy to focus only on ourselves. If we’re being honest, we’d all probably admit that taking our eyes off our own challenges and circumstances isn’t that simple. But here, Paul reminds us how important it is to focus on others, too. God wants us to grow and develop in our own faith, but God also wants us to encourage those around us to do the same. While we never want to give up on our own ability to grow, we also don’t want to give up on the potential others have to do the same!

Take time today to think about a person in your life who could use some encouragement. Take a step this week to focus on building them up instead of just focusing on yourself.
