Withering

The plant in my window is almost dead. This isn't surprising, I can never keep a plant alive so this one never really stood a chance. I put it in the window to get sunlight and watered it regularly. But somehow it still dies.

Sometimes it feels like that in our own spiritual lives. We go to church and read our Bibles, we fellowship with other believers and serve the needy. But somehow we still feel like we are withering up and dying.

Unfortunately, like the plants, I don't know why this happens. But I do know that this withering will not last forever and if we are steadfast God will reward our faithfulness and renew us.
