Desperate doesn't mean give up...

Desperate doesn't mean give up...

July 11, 2010

Sometime when I was very confident about something and the result was not the same as I expect, I become desperate. Like Jeremiah. After God convinced him, he became very confident about the job that GOD mandate to him and the result was not the same as he expected, the Israelites still stubborn even after the LORD has punished them. He became desperate and he wish that he never been born.

Being desperate is normal but give up is not normal for GOD. Every one can feel stress and unhappy when problem come but it does not mean that he must stop doing the right things.

I am very stress and distracted because the business that my father mandate to me is not going well. I don’t want to give up. I seek advice from church members, my mother, my wife and I will seek advice from many-many people that appropriate. I believe Jeremiah continue his mission after he lamented.

Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed. Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad. And let that man be as the cities which the Lord overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide; Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me. Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
