It is because of the LORD’s loving kindnesses
that we are not consumed,
because his compassion doesn’t fail.
They are new every morning.
Great is your faithfulness.
“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul.
“Therefore I will hope in him.”
-Lamentations 3:22-24, WEB-BE
Life is important. We are gifted with hope up to our very last breath. Every morning is a new promise of life, of trying again, of being able to make things right.
We can make things right again. We can apologize for our faults. We can make up for the hurts we caused.
In the same way, it is not impossible to see other people change for the better. It is not impossible that someone who has long been given up to darkness would turn his life around and walk towards the light.
The people who hurt us can realize what they have done and ask for our forgiveness. The people who have wasted their lives for so long can wake up from their slumber and amend their lives.
Don’t give up on people, even on those who have long given up on themselves. God upholds us and showers us with His mercies, with our every breath. God never gives up on us. He still makes His miracles, you know. Never give up on you. Never give up on me.
Never cease loving a person, and never give up hope for him, for even the prodigal son who had fallen most low, could still be saved; the bitterest enemy and also he who was your friend could again be your friend; love that has grown cold can kindle. – Søren Kierkegaard
One reply on “Never Give Up On Me”
God never gives up on us and His love for us never runs dry. We, too, as you say here, must not give up on ourselves or others whom we think will never see the light. God has His own plans for them, and we must continue to pray.
Blessings, Joyce!
