Ministry (with people) is tough! You work hard with someone, pray for them, hope with them, do whatever you can for them and more often than not, they make the wrong choice again and it feels like all your effort was for naught.
I'm not thinking of anyone in particular, but today was just one of those days where lots of people came back to mind. And with those thoughts, lots of hopes dashed to the rocks. It's so sad. There are times when you just feel like trying to help others is not worth it.
Jesus not only has the answers to everyone's life, he IS the answer. Yes, things get tough. Sure we slip and slide backwards now and then, but we can always trust him to be there for us and help us through those rocky issues.
I get it. I've based my life on that fact. I just wish the track record of success stories for those people you pour yourself into could be higher.

I think that everyone wishes for a better track record when it comes to our ministry. But there are times when we remember the ones that did reach and that gives us the strength to carry on. Jesus is the one who gives us the strength through His victories.
sometimes you will have successes that you will never know about! but God does!
