Wow, giving up. What a low, sad, and undesirable place to be for some situations but for other situations it can be an amazing thing.
We could give up on a friendship, a marriage, ourselves, our dreams .. or we can give up on things like being content with unsucessfulness,bad habits and so on. However, giving up is all about in the way it is done and what it is done to.
As I sit here tonight, I think about the positive and negative ‘give-ups’ in my life. I think about the people who should have given up on me long ago, and yet for some unbelievable reason they did not. I also think about all the things in my life that were positive ‘give-ups’, like hoodies! : )
The one thing that keeps repeating in my mind is how many times God should have given up on me -- this young girl from a little place in the world called Walterboro who basically fails Him on a daily basis, who think she knows it all and can handle anything by herself, who takes for granted how blessed she is all the time, who doesn’t spend nearly enough time with Him as He deserves .. and yet He never does. It amazes me, because I know if I was God I would have honestly given up on us all. I mean, look at our nation and how far away we are from the truth yet He is so merciful to see us through. What an amazing love.
I don’t really have much to say, but watch this video because it inspired this post!
