Weary indifference

“And let us not grow weary while doing good,

for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” Gal. 6:9

Life gets weary. Tiring, wiping or wearing one out. The resulting disillusionment and jadedness can sap and exhaust an individual, slowly unraveling all that they are.

If allowed to remain, this consuming process of indifference will create a world resembling a mundane desert of meaninglessness. Satan knows and exploits this.

A weary indifference to life and the things in it will cripple the intention and goodness of what is purposed and supplied for living. A crisis of identity is what Satan desires the world to live, but the Creator never designed nor has intended for His creation.

T.S. Eliot observed: “Where is the life we have lost in living?” He realized there is a purposing and reasoning for life. That if not careful and caring, a person can go through all their days and never embrace the goodness and properly appropriate and recognize the greatness in it. Allowing the darkness, the bad to overshadow and consume the light, love and strength. Sin always flourishes in the dark. It likes indifference and encourages it.

Overcoming this weariness and this leaning/listing toward the side (indifference) involves knowing and living with the knowledge that we exist in a much larger story and occupy a place in it. The connection made through Jesus Christ provides a rationality that we are saved to live differently with resolution, tenacity and commitment that is stifling toward indifference. Weariness is passing, intention (salvation) is a realized goal with design.

Weariness can be minimized by implementing into your very soul the following: you are what Jesus has done. You are not the sum of your shame and in Christ we are not quiet.

Life without Christ is NOT a tough question, it is an impossibility and not what you were created for. You should not grow weary while doing good…there is a goodness that is provided but must be realized. “For in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart (loosen or relax our courage, give up).”

We are all better equipped than we know, and God loves to fix those things that are broken.

“Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it?” Thornton Wilder, Our Town.

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Cor. 15:58
