not giving up

A writing assignment …

“I wanted to give up so many times, but I didn’t.” Is the challenge.

“I wanted to give up so many times, but I didn’t.” I couldn’t. In having endured tremendous and multiple griefs over the years, I found that mine, as others, ministry’s are birthed in our pain.

Pain… has a divine purpose. One, to know the mercy of God. And two, to share His mercy out of our innermost self; love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control which all rise up pushing us to become a purposeful vessel for Christ.

No, I will not give up. My faith has been through enough that it is now a given to believe Jeremiah 29: 11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

I have stories to tell that others need to hear for we are in it together. 🌹
