Don’t stop now

So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up.

Galatians 6:9

If you’ve ever stuck at something against all odds and despite zero rewards for the longest time—you’ll know the ecstasy and surprise of one day realizing, I’m finally winning at this thing! It’s as if the seeds have been hidden in dark soil. You’ve watered… and waited... You’ve been tempted to walk away—but you kept watering, and waiting. Then one day: green shoot! And the rest is history. 

If God’s given you ground to plow, the green shoots will come. He grows things in the dark all the time. It might feel like nothing’s happening—like, your kids aren’t responding, or your boss isn’t noticing—but God doesn’t say things He doesn’t mean, and He assures us that at just the right time, we’ll reap the good harvest we’ve sown. 

Food for Thought: Take your meds as prescribed, not as you like.

Modern medicine is amazing. It can cure illness, prevent infections and even help our heart beat in time. As a result, we are living longer, and healthier, lives. There is one catch though… for medicine to work, you need to be taking it! Compliance isn’t only about taking your medication; it’s also about how much you need, when to take it, what to take it with and how long it will last. The type and amount of medication that your doctor gives to you is unique to only you, so definitely a case of sharing is not caring. If you start feeling better, that is a sign that the medication is working, and not that you can stop taking it!
