Never Give Up!



Checking in on my house plants this morning I noticed how far my ivy has come. My mama gave me that longest piece you see hanging about two years ago now and for the longest time that’s all it was; that one piece of ivy. It didn’t die. But . . . . . it didn’t grow either. This morning on my way to work I snapped this pic of it.  It’s growing! It’s growing! It’s growing! In the midst of my happy dance and smiling I realized, just like me, it’s no longer stagnant. I never gave up on the beauty it could become. I never gave up on loving it. I never gave up and just tossed it in the trash. I began taking care of it; nourishing it with water, encouraging words, and prayer.
I further realized just how deep God’s love is for us. Even in our ambitions, discontentment, stubbornness, covetousness, lusts, going back and forth on how we’re going to do better, treat people better, read His word more, pray more, fast more, help and give more; He never gives up on us! So, if you’re having trouble making it one more day in your situation; remember this; God loves us SO MUCH that He gave His ONLY begotten Son!  So that we could have everlasting life!  He’s never given up on us but sadly it’s us who usually gives up on Him. 
Never give up on your walk in righteousness and doing what’s right.  Like my ivy, we can grow deeper in love with God and His Holy Spirit if we just nurture our relationship with Him.
Peace & Love beautiful people!  Never give up!
