Okay.......
You probably stop.....
Like so......
Okay I'll stop and continue.
When you want to stop something and come back to it later you want to stop for good.
If you where in Sunday school as a kid then you probably remember the story of Jonah and the whale.
And the song Joshua fought the battle of Jericho.
But Jonah wanted to stop what they where told to do
And Joshua's soldiers wanted to stop marching.
Don't stop:
1: Being a good person
2: loving others
3: If you love God never stop loving him because he is eternal.
Joshua's story is very interesting
“Now the gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in. Then the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.” So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.” And he ordered the army, “Advance! March around the city, with an armed guard going ahead of the ark of the Lord.” When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant followed them.”
Joshua 6:1-8 NIV

Don't ya think they got tired and wanted to stop?
Jonah wanted to stop when he heard that he had to go to Nineveh!
So he got swallowed by the whale. But that didn't quite change his mind. He suffered from heat but yet God provided a plant to shade him but then God put a plant eating bug to teach Jonah. Jonah went to Nineveh.
Don't stop. Keep trying
Weather it's life your tiered of or if it's your job or relationship. Don't stop. Never quit life. Never quit your job if it's a great one. Never quit your relationship if it's a great one but if bad then get away.
Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ who is my strength

Jesus is eternal
What do you think about this?
Let me ask a question...
If you had 1 million dollars what would you do?
Would you buy the latest clothes or the new Apple iPad? Or the new televisions that have come out? What about a selfie stick? Or a new car? What about anything you wanted?
But what about God? What about Jesus? Why do we put idols in front of our Heavenly Father?
When I mean idols I mean everyday objects!
What about eternal life? That's something that you can keep forever!
Jesus died because he loves you. He didn't stretch those arms for nothing!
Have you asked yourself where you'll go when you die? Maybe you think you'll go to heaven just by being good? No!
Here's a bible verse for that
“As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?””
Mark 10:17 NIV
http://bible.com/111/mrk.10.17.niv
Jesus replied
“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’ ””
Mark 10:17-19 NIV
http://bible.com/111/mrk.10.17-19.niv
““Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.” Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!” The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” Then Peter spoke up, “We have left everything to follow you!” “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.””
Mark 10:20-31 NIV

To my brother or sister in Christ
Wherever you are you probably wonder what others think about what you wear or what you think about them.
I'm one of these people. I bet you are too because that's life
Now.... If we stop thinking of what people say maybe we could find out what God thinks about us
There is a bible verse on criticism that you should check out.
“Now the Philistines fought against Israel; the Israelites fled before them, and many fell dead on Mount Gilboa. The Philistines were in hot pursuit of Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab and Malki-Shua. The fighting grew fierce around Saul, and when the archers overtook him, they wounded him critically.”
1 Samuel 31:1-3 NIV
http://bible.com/111/1sa.31.1-3.niv
If you think positive on what people think about you instead of negativity then you would be less stressed
“So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.”
2 Thessalonians 2:15 NIV
http://bible.com/111/2th.2.15.niv

Being who we are in Christ not the world
What do you think about your heart? Not your beating heart but your spiritual heart,
On a scale of 1-10 rate how you feel
1: :) I've got it all together no worries
2: :} My emotions are happy but have little worry
3: :] I'm a little happy getting nervous with you asking questions
4: :/ I'm confused why are you asking
5: :| I'm getting a little worried
6: :( maybe I need some cheering up
7: :,( I'm sad
8: :,,,( I'm crying a river
9: X,,,( leave me alone I don't want help
10: =,,,C I'm done with my life I'm having a midlife crisis!
Why would you be 1 or 10? Or how about 9?
We need help from Jesus. Maybe because we need him more than ourselves.
Why do we need someone who is in heaven (Jesus) to help us?
“Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Savior.”
Psalm 38:22 NIV
