Persist

Inspiration
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” Galatians 6:9-10.
I want to persist. Even when I am weary. Especially when I am weary.
The road is narrow. The road is long. Some days I am tired. Some days I want to stop. Some days I wonder if any of it matters.
But Paul reminds me: the weariness is not the end. There is a harvest coming. I may not see it today. I may not see it tomorrow. But it is coming. At the proper time. So I will not give up.
I will keep doing good. I will keep loving my brothers and sisters. I will keep walking.
This is what I will do: walk the narrow road until the end. For the Lord. For the family of believers. For the harvest.
Until the end.
Lyrics
[Verse 1] weary hands and tired eyes fields of hope beneath these skies seasons pass, the days grow long but something deep inside stays strong I won't give up, I can't let go there's a harvest time, I know [Chorus] I'm still sowing seeds of light though the darkness blinds my sight I'm still walking toward that day when all the pain will fade away I'm still hoping, I'm still trying I'm still loving, I'm still fighting [Verse 2] the road stretches far ahead echoes of the words You said "Do not grow weary doing good" I would stop if only I could but love compels me to go on until the final battle's won [Chorus] I'm still sowing seeds of light though the darkness blinds my sight I'm still walking toward that day when all the pain will fade away I'm still hoping, I'm still trying I'm still loving, I'm still fighting [Verse 3] every kindness, every deed every hungry soul I feed is a promise I won't fall though I stumble, though I crawl the opportunity remains to ease another's pain [Final Chorus] I'm still sowing seeds of light though the darkness blinds my sight I'm still walking toward that day when all the pain will fade away I'm still hoping, I'm still trying I'm still loving, I'm persisting I'm still loving, I'm persisting
