So many times i met pple including myself feel lousy sometimes when we "try too hard". It can be out of a good heart and motivation and doing a good thing. But if that thing you do is not really YOU or beyond YOU, you might sometimes get fearful, feeling lousy and a hunger for assurance that can never be filled. But i sincerely believe that you don't need to be more than yourself. What you are lacked with, God will provide. I find myself most happy and fulfilled when i'm just myself. of coz many things i ought to be better but if it's beyond be or pretending to be someone else. i find myself miserable. So i truly believe, be nothing more than yourself. Give your best and actually it's more than enough if it's your ground to take :)
Faithfulness is the foundation to many success and "WOW" stuff. It's the thing that can be easily discouraged as faithfulness is a a "showy" thing. It can be neglected by others and many times taken for granted. But if you stop being faithful, it's like surrendering your investment policy after 3 months of payment, you'll never see what you are promised and you'll have complaints and regrets and turn an initially awesome thing to something worthless. You ought to see the fruit of your faithfulness. I met many questioning certain faithful things they are doing here n there. And they doubt their initial decision to commit. Some things YES you should check if it's worth it. But some things you know n you know it's worth it. Just that you got tired, disappointed, neglected, belittled, etc. and you start viewing faithfulness as a battle to fight, it's gonna become even more tiring. Faithfulness is a foundation. Foundation meaning fixed. You don't go to a building and revamp the foundation as n when just because you want a renovation. Be careful what builds your foundation and faithfulness is definitely one of them. When there is no shadow of doubt that faithfulness can be questioned in some areas of your life, you'll find that the real problem is more surfaced. At least that's for me :) I hope this blessed someone.
