Keep Pushing

There’s this door I go through every day. It’s automated, so every time it senses motion, it opens widely for people to walk through. I believe the door has been doing this for quite a number of years; At least, since Covid hit, to prevent people from having to touch the handles and basically reduce the spread of disease.

The hinges of the door look worn and old, but person after person this door keeps opening and closing. I imagine the door gets tired sometimes, and maybe on some days it may want to take a break. Yet, it continues to do what it was meant to do - to open and close so that people can get through. 

How many of us are tired of the the things we are going through or have gone through recently? How many of us feel like we want to give up and maybe take the easier route?

Today, this morning, I was reminded by the Holy Spirit to keep pushing! No matter how tired I feel physically or spiritually. God wants me to keep going because in the end, it will be good. 

We may not realize it, but sometimes even in our suffering and pain we are making way for others, and still fulfilling Gods' purpose in our lives. We are opening and closing so that people can get to their destinations. 

When we feel like giving up, let’s remember that God, no matter the circumstance we find ourselves in, is using us. It may not seem like it, but He is and He will continue to give us the grace we need to keep going when we are tired. Keep pushing friends!

Love,
