Glorify God

Good Morning!! A friend was complaining that even though she and her husband constantly work at their relationship and seek help from a counselor, they are still plagued with problems. "It feels like we'll be working at this forever," she sighed. I suggested that maybe we glorify God, as much in the struggle, as in the solution. "Your children are learning that you don't give up on a relationship."

We do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day.—2 Corinthians 4:16-17 (NIV)

We love quick and neat resolutions, like we love happy endings. But it is often in clinging to God, when we don't see answers, that we witness most convincingly. A watching world is inspired and moved by a faith that just won't quit!

Continuing to fight, is evidence of hope, faith, and trust in God,...Who can.
O God, we pray for faith that never gives up. Amen.

"The Spirit of the Lord is here!"
