Do Good To All

I was reading Galatians 6 during my devotional time today. Verses 9 and 10 struck a chord in me. It says: 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.

It sounds easy, right? But, not... Doing good may seem easy to do, but to do good AT ALL TIMES and to ALL which implies even to those people who are unkind to us and those we do not like so much, that's tough. However, my faith in God and my desire to please God is fueling this desire in me to obey. So, Lord God, I'm going to try real hard to obey this command of Yours. I know You're going to help me. I want to do this, Lord, because I love You and want to please You. I want to make up for the time that I took You for granted and took You very lightly.

Lord, I know You said do good to all at all times. Are you also telling me to keep on sending this friend of mine text/instant messages even when he's not answering back? Should I, Lord? You said do not become weary... but, to be very honest, I am getting tired of doing it, Lord. I'm just a little confused here. If I could only be sure that what I'm doing is doing him good, by all means, I'd continue to do so. But what if it's bothering him; I'm bothering him with my messages? Just don't know what to do. Help, Lord!!!
