Doing Good

Galatians 6:9-10, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers."

We just finished up a study on Galatians this last month. Each week we read a chapter and talked about it. This verse from Galatians has really been impacting me. I want to be a person who does good to others. I want to take the oppportunity to give of myself and my resources to help others and to make a difference. I have had some opportunities to do that in the last few weeks, and some situations can be exhausting and some can stretch you financially. But, it has been a blessing to me to help others even though it is tiring and stretching. I like the encouragement in this verse, telling us not to become weary and not to give up. I don't feel like focusing on the harvest, but rather on loving others. But, I'm glad that there is a benefit---in ourselves and in others---for our investment. Doing good...I like it. :)
