Never Give Up

Today, during Leaders Huddle with Our Lady of Fatima University (OLFU) students, we've shared our highlights and low moments for the week. After hearing from everyone, we all agreed that God's message for the team is "Never Give Up!".

Aside from the team's visions and objectives, we have our individual goals too. Each of us may be facing different temptations and challenges everyday yet God is ever faithful and patient that He even encouraged us not to quit. We were reminded to fix our eyes on Jesus and throw off anything that can distract and stop us to succeed.

Before we ended in prayer, this verse came to mind,

2 Corinithians 12: 8-9 (NLT)
Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

We can continue and not give up because God is there, He is enough to keep us going. His grace is all we needOnce we become humble to accept our weaknesses and surrender all our struggles to God, He becomes our strength. His power works best in us as we depend on Him. There is indeed no reason to give up!
