No matter how weak you feel spiritually, even if you feel like you need to be strengthened, you should always continue pouring out God's grace and serving others while having faith that He will restore you in His time, instead of wallowing and waiting to be strengthened.That is from Debra's blog, and it's here cos it's so true. I remember always falling into long periods of desperation and confusion whenever something went wrong, questioning everything as if God owed me answers. It was like I was telling my best friend who
died for me, "I'm only going to serve you if it's easy." I can just think of all that time I wasted, all the people I could have blessed, all the pain I added to my own suffering.
There is no satisfaction when you surrender to pain. It's just like with a race. The pain becomes all the more worth it after you pull through. When you give up, you don't just give up temporary pain, you give up longer-lasting joy.
So keep running, people.
