The WORD today (See http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/050814.cfm) reminds me that God wants us to keep going, especially when times are tough.
In sports and even in life, you build stamina and you improve not when things are normal, but when things are difficult. You build stamina in sports when you continue to run and give your all even if you are tired already. In life, you improve and build your character if you continue to do the right things even if people or the situation is difficult. That's how you improve. When you keep going.
In the first reading, we see the eunuch do the same. He was reading scripture even if he does not understand what he was reading. He just kept reading. He kept going. And God sent Philip to enlighten and baptize him.
Things may not be perfect. It never will be. But we are encouraged to keep going. Keep doing what is right. Keep praying. This will build us up and improve us. God sees us, and will reward us. See video link and be reminded on how God wants us to keep going as he works with us. http://www.values.com/inspirational-stories-tv-spots/100-Concert
Father God,
Thank you for today. Thank you for another day to live. Thank you for all the blessings. Lord, life is not perfect. I have lots of challenges. There are times I am tempted to give up, or just compromise. But Lord I know that you do not want that, and you don't deserve that. So I ask that you help me to keep going ad living your way. May this praise and glorify you. Amen.
Blessed day!
In Christ,
