The 2 Minute Word
Don't Give Up
Hebrews 10:35 NIV
“So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded”
It is not an easy task holding on to your confidence. In other translations the word confidence is referred to as courage. “Hold on to your courage”, it says.
It takes great courage to walk in a way opposite of the world, doing good when the people around you are encouraging you to do bad. It could be your family or your best friend, people who love you and may even want the best for you advising you to do what is wrong.
One of my favorite cartoons is the Flintstones and on one episode, Fred encourages Barney to pretend he is sick so they could go to the ball game. Barney did and many lies later they wound up at the game, to their surprise sitting right next to Barney’s boss.
Of course, the boss fired him, but the kicker is that the boss had planned to give Barney a promotion with a bonus. The bonus you guessed it, tickets to the ball game.
Keep doing what is right regardless of what anybody else, says, Fred doesn’t know the God’s promise for your life, and you may just be closer than you think.
This is Tris No H telling you All Is Well.
Remember Love is a Verb...so go verb.
