He Never Gives Up

Today at boot camp was unbelievably difficult. Normally, we do 100 push-ups, run some outside, and then do a lot of other circuit and cardio training. Today, we did over 200 pushups, it was freezing when we ran outside, and we literally didn't stop from start to finish of the entire one hour and fifteen minute class. It was insane, and so difficult to not give up. There were times when I wanted to just scream and quit. It was getting to be so difficult, and every time it seemed difficult, Kathy (our instructor) told us we needed to work harder and do more. It was never-ending and it would have been easy to quit, but it was so good that none of us in the class did give up. We kept going. At the end of it, it was well worth it.

There's just one thing I want you to understand today:
- God will never, ever give up on you.

We put God through a lot, and it absolutely kills Him to watch some of the decisions we make. But, He will never, ever, ever give up on you. We take and take and take from Him and He can handle it all. He never will quit on us. No matter what we've done, are doing, or ever will do, He will never stop reaching out to us and loving us. Even if you say you hate Him or even if you really do hate Him, His love won't change. He will always be there holding on.

Never think you're too far gone for Him. Never think you're too big of a project. He's right there, waiting for you to accept Him. He won't ever give up.

"I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38-39 NLT)
