And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
There's an honesty in this verse that's easy to miss: it assumes you will get tired. It doesn't say doing good will always feel rewarding, or that kindness will be noticed, or that effort pays off on your timeline. It just says don't quit before the harvest, because the harvest is coming even when you can't see it yet.
That's a hard thing to hear if you've done something generous and it went unnoticed, or tried to be patient with someone and gotten nothing back. Weariness in doing good is real, not a sign you're broken. The question this verse raises isn't whether you'll get tired — you will. It's whether tired is going to be the thing that stops you.
Maybe you've never thought about where the will to keep sowing when nothing's visibly growing actually comes from. That's worth wondering about, whatever you currently believe about God.
If you're running low on reasons to keep going, it might help to look at where this kind of endurance is said to come from.
A short video on this is coming soon — for now, read on.
