Never Give Up on Giving Up

Today you are facing tremendous trials and difficulty. The sky is dark with not one ray of light to light your path. You might be at the end of your rope and hope fades. Your heart is in constant pain and emotionally you are crushed. Life has dealt you a hand that seems very unfair and you want to give up.

Don't give up on giving up my friend. I know that sounds strange but stay with me for minute, it will make sense. First, remember Jesus felt what you feel and He cares. Yes, it is hard and maybe, there is no end in sight but you only see part of the picture, God sees the whole picture. Let go, just give up, and allow God to do His job. He is bigger than the problem you are facing. He created the world, the oceans, the birds and He created you. He has the answers and He loves you more than you can understand.

Trust Him in the middle of the storm. Jesus will do what you cannot do. Read the words to this song "Jesus Will Do What You Can't" written by Gerald Crabb and sung by the Crabb Family.

Your backs against the wall and you don't know what you're going to do.
The trial you're facing is the worst thing that you've been through
You feel singled out in the battle, your will to fight is almost gone.
There's one in your corner whose never failed
Don't give up keep pressing on.

In the midst of the storm He spoke peace be still and the wind lay at His feet
With just five loaves of bread and two little fish, He watched five thousand eat.
He made the blind man to see, set the captive man free, to this world He was Heaven-sent
When you've done all you can, remember Jesus can do all that you can't

When we gather in Heaven and our battle with life is through.
Should we swap old war stories, I have one I'd like to share with you.
About that night at the crossroads where Satan vowed I would lose.
A hand out of nowhere picked me up, and I made it through.

My x-wife stole drugs from the hospital she was working. She disappeared and I was alone. I took a drink and taking a drink for me means serious problems because I am an alcoholic, today a recovering alcoholic. Life was hard and believe me I didn't see any hope.

I became sick very fast, because I am a real alcoholic and if I drink, I progress to a hopeless state. I admitted myself to a recovery hospital and went through the pain process of facing the pain of losing my wife and stepson. I remember walking the halls of this treatment center singing, "when you've done all you can, remember Jesus can do all that you can't"
Today I am remarried all I lost restored. I know what pain is and I promise you Jesus works. He worked for me, when I had no place to run and no place to hide He came to me and I trusted Him to solve the problem and He did.

After a tremendous struggle, I finally gave up and allowed God to do what I could not do. I am totally convinced no human power could have solved my problem and maybe no human can solve your problem. Let me suggest you never give up on giving up to the power of God. He works when all else fails.
