Be Not Weary In Well Doing

Be Not Weary In Well Doing

Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.”

Galatians 6:9 “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

I am reminded of an incident that happened about 3 years ago while here at work. I was in a reception area taking to a friend of mine about my new little grand-daughter. Outside the lobby a Carter BloodCare Mobile was parked for a blood drive that day at the facility. One of the staff for the blood drive, a young lady in her twenties, was standing about 10 feet away from us, I assumed waiting for someone. My friend asked, as I was a new grandfather, if I remembered what it was like with small children anymore. I told him that just between he and I, …I use to be “Gabby The Mime” here in Fort Worth and entertained children at the local hospitals for many years. About that time the young lady from the blood drive mobile, pushed my friend aside….pointed a finger at me and said, “You are Gabby the Mime?” I jokingly said…”Well, it depends…there isn’t an attorney involved in that question is there?” At that time I noticed half of her face was covered with terrible scars. She told me that 20 years prior, she had been attacked by a pit bull, who tore off half her face. She was only 6 years old. She remembered that I had come to her room and done a small show for her…and made her pink poodle balloon animals. She had gone through over 40 surgeries in the last 20 years but had never forgotten that time we spent together at the Children’s Hospital. What are the chances that after 20 years, we would meet face to face.

Sometimes we get to plant, sometimes to water and sometimes we get to harvest… but together we share in the joy of touching a life with Gods love and compassion. “For in due season….we shall all reap, if we faint not.” One person can make a difference. One person can be a light to so many in darkness as we allow the light of Christ to shine through us and in us.
