Let
us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a
harvest if we do not give up.
- Galatians 6:9 (NIV)
Doing
good doesn’t always feel joyful. Sometimes it feels exhausting.
I’ve been volunteering in one way or another since I was about twelve years old—working as a candy striper, joining a military career exploration group as a youth and later as an adult advisor, serving with various veterans’ organizations, fostering cats, teaching Sunday school, arts and crafts, and music. There have been fundraisers for youth groups, motorcycle ministry, and so many causes that mattered deeply to my heart.
And sometimes… I get tired.
Burnout doesn’t mean we don’t care. It doesn’t mean we’ve lost our passion or our faith. It usually means we’ve been giving faithfully for a long time, often without seeing immediate results or recognition.
Paul’s words are a gentle reminder, not a reprimand. He doesn’t say if we get weary—he says when. And he encourages us to keep going, not by gritting our teeth, but by trusting that God sees every act of love, every sacrifice, every quiet yes. Even when the harvest feels far away, it is not forgotten.
If today feels heavy, know this: your faithfulness matters. Even the good you can’t see growing yet is still taking root.
