Donβt Give Up onΒ People
It can be discouraging to love people who seem determined to reject God. But today's Gem of Knowledge reminds us that heaven sees what we cannot. "You may not fully realize the difference your love can make while in this world, but someday you will. Don't give up on people. Just keep loving, even when they seem lost or too far gone. You just never know what could happen. Amen." Our responsibility has never been to change hearts. That belongs to God. Our calling is to faithfully love, pray, speak truth with grace, and leave the results in His hands. So don't quit - Jesus never does.π β¨Click to read the full devotional [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Todayβs One Year Bible Verses: 1 Chronicles 16:37β18:17, Romans 2:1β24, Psalm 10:16β18, Proverbs 19:8β9
Keep Loving… You Never Know
It can be discouraging to love people who seem determined to reject God. We pray, encourage, forgive, and patiently walk beside them, yet sometimes it feels like nothing changes. The temptation is to believe our efforts have been wasted or that someone is simply too far gone.
But today’s Gem of Knowledge reminds us that heaven sees what we cannot.
“You may not fully realize the difference your love can make while in this world, but someday you will. Don’t give up on people. Just keep loving, even when they seem lost or too far gone. You just never know what could happen. Amen.”
Our responsibility has never been to change hearts. That belongs to God. Our calling is to faithfully love, pray, speak truth with grace, and leave the results in His hands.
In today’s reading, David’s victories in 1 Chronicles were not accomplished overnight. They came one battle at a time as he faithfully followed the Lord. In the same way, God often works in people’s hearts through countless small moments that may seem insignificant to us. A kind word, a patient response, a prayer whispered in secret, or a simple act of compassion may become another step God uses to draw someone closer to Himself.
Paul echoes this truth in Romans 2. He reminds us that it isΒ God’s kindnessΒ that leads people to repentanceβnot our harshness, condemnation, or impatience.
“Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you?… Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?”Β βΒ Romans 2:4 (NLT)
How many times has God’s kindness patiently pursued each one of us? How many people loved us before we finally surrendered to Christ? Most of us can look back and see countless individuals God placed in our lives long before we realized how much they were influencing us.
Psalm 10 reminds us that God sees every hurting person. He hears the cries of the oppressed and strengthens those whose hope is in Him.
“LORD, you know the hopes of the helpless. Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them.”Β βΒ Psalm 10:17 (NLT)
That means no prayer is unnoticed. No loving act is forgotten. Even if we never witness the harvest, God does.
Perhaps the person you’ve been praying for will remember your kindness years from now when they reach the end of themselves. Maybe the child who seems uninterested today will one day recall your faithful example. Perhaps the coworker who laughs at your faith will someday seek you out because they know where genuine hope can be found.
We rarely see the entire story while we’re living it.
One day, whether in this life or the next, God may reveal just how many lives were touched because you chose to keep loving instead of giving up.
So don’t quit – Jesus never does.
Keep loving.
Keep praying.
Keep forgiving.
Keep pointing people toward Jesus.
Because you never know what God is doing beneath the surface. π
Action (5 Minutes with God)
Take just 5 minutes to be with the Lord today. Ask Him:
- βLord, what do You want me to know about this personally?β
- Journal what He gives you through His Holy Spirit.
- Then ask, βWhat do You want me to do?β
- Journal what He reveals βΒ then do it!
Think of one person you’ve been tempted to give up on. Instead of withdrawing, ask God to show you one simple way to demonstrate His love to them this weekβwhether through prayer, encouragement, forgiveness, or a quiet act of kindness.
Prayer
Father, thank You for never giving up on me. Help me to love people with the same patience and kindness You have shown me. When I become discouraged, remind me that You are always working in ways I cannot see. Give me strength to keep praying, keep loving, and keep pointing others to Jesus, trusting You with the outcome. Use even the smallest acts of obedience for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, amen.

I Choose to Encourage: The Power ofΒ Words
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." β John 1:1 (NIV) Words are powerful. With a few carefully chosen words, we can inspire someone to keep going, mend a broken relationship, or offer hope in a difficult season.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” β John 1:1 (NIV)
Words are powerful.
With a few carefully chosen words, we can inspire someone to keep going, mend a broken relationship, or offer hope in a difficult season. Yet words can also wound, discourage, and leave scars that last for years.
Think about the words that have impacted your life. Perhaps someone spoke encouragement over you when you doubted yourself. Maybe a teacher, mentor, friend, or family member saw something in you that you could not yet see in yourself. Their words helped shape who you became.
Unfortunately, many of us can also recall hurtful words that have lingered long after they were spoken. Words have a way of embedding themselves in our hearts and influencing how we see ourselves and the world around us.
That is why John 1:1 is so profound:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
John identifies Jesus as the Word. Before creation, before time itself, the Word existed. Through Him, God brought life, order, and purpose into the world.
God chose words to create.
Throughout Scripture, we see the power of God’s spoken Word. He spoke light into darkness. He spoke truth into confusion. He spoke life where there was nothing.
If words matter so much to God, they should matter to us.
As followers of Christ, we have an opportunity every day to reflect His character through the words we speak. Our conversations can bring healing instead of hurt. Our comments can build confidence instead of tearing people down. Our encouragement can help others see what God is doing in their lives.
Encouragement is more than simply saying something nice. It is intentionally speaking truth, hope, and life into someone else’s journey. Encouragement reminds people that they are seen, valued, and loved by God.
The world offers plenty of criticism, negativity, and division. Social media feeds, news headlines, and daily conversations can quickly become places where people feel attacked rather than uplifted.
What if Christians became known for encouragement?
What if our words reflected the heart of Christ?
What if we paused before speaking and asked ourselves, “Will these words build up or tear down?”
Every day presents opportunities to encourage:
- Thank someone for their faithfulness.
- Speak hope to someone who is struggling.
- Send a text of appreciation.
- Pray with a friend.
- Remind someone of God’s promises.
Small words can have a lasting impact.
Today, choose to encourage.
Let your words reflect the One who is called the Word. Let them bring light into someone’s darkness and hope into someone’s uncertainty.
Because words are never neutral. They shape how we see ourselves, others, and God. They can unite or divide, heal or harm, inspire or discourage.
May we use our words wisely and intentionally, choosing encouragement wherever we go.
Reflection Questions
- Who has encouraged you with their words recently?
- Is there someone in your life who needs encouragement today?
- How can your words better reflect the love and truth of Christ?
Sometimes the simplest choiceβchoosing words that give lifeβcan make the biggest difference.
With love and joy,
Laura
This reflection connects with Day 13: “I Choose to Encourage” from the Today I Choose devotional. Each day offers practical encouragement and biblical truth to help you make intentional choices that strengthen your faith and impact those around you.
