Do Not Grow Weary
But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good. 2 Thessalonians 3:13
When we do good we often do grow weary, especially if our good deeds are not acknowledged, appreciated or reciprocated.
But Paul exhorts the Thessalonians to not grow weary in well doing.
I would suggest today that if that goodness flows from a place of relationship (as a result of the Love of the Lord Jesus flowing in and through us and onto others) rather than a place of religion (being good as one thing of many on a check list I need to do to be “good”, to be approved of and to gain acceptance) then the weary part won’t become a concern.
When we are in relationship with the Lord, truly understanding and experiencing His love and goodness in our lives, that will naturally flow in and through us and out of us onto those around us, without effort and without expectation of it being acknowledge, appreciated or reciprocated.
Go forth and be good today as a natural outpouring of what Jesus has placed within you!
