Just Not Good Enough

Have you ever felt like you did your best, but still you came up short? Your heart was right, but how it turned out was not how it was planned? I sure have. I felt like what I was doing was just not good enough. So, what do you do?

I have gotten mad, and upset, disappointed and even disillusioned. I have wanted to quit and run away. You know, just like the airline commercial -- "Ever want to get away!" The announcer says that right after someone innocently knocked over all the store shelves or something.

Well, after you settle down and think about it, you can't run away. You have to deal with it. You have to stay motivated to your expectations and do your best. If it's not working, try it another way, or even get help -- coaching even. You have to keep trying your best. Don't give up now.

Gal 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. NIV

Even though others may not see your heart and the effort you are putting in. God knows and He is the one that rewards you anyway. Though others are quick to judge and even make you feel condemned, keep yourself motivated by looking at the promises of God. Ask Him to help you and then keep the faith. You will reap wonderful results if you don't give up!
