Never Lose Heart

Thursday. Matt. 13: 18-23. 31. 32.

All sorts of folk to work with: some locked up to your approaches; some unappreciative of the best you do; some utterly indifferent; some seeming hopeful, then proving so unsteady and wobbly. But difficulties only show the great need. They couldn’t stop Jesus, nor take the edge off his eager gentleness. Love grew in its hold. Little by little, more and more, it grew. This is the Jesusway. And he’s our Example in service.
