Never Give Up (Middle School)Sample

Friends are easy to love and support! But the people who can be harsh, or never listen, or always cause a lot of drama? Well, they’re not as easy to encourage, are they? Here, Paul’s words remind us that it is God who gives us all the patience we need to get along with and encourage each other. When we want to give up on people in our lives, we can look back to God for the patience we need to be encouraging, supportive friends to everyone in our lives.

Today, think of someone in your life you’re tempted to give up on. Ask God for patience to stick with them and even encourage them along the way.
