Why we grow weary

---

Joel 1:4
4
What the locust swarm has left

the great locusts have eaten;

what the great locusts have left

the young locusts have eaten;

what the young locusts have left

other locusts a have eaten.

Do not be suprised at how those around you will devour the spiritual fruit that comes through you. Mankind devours what it can. Mankind will consume, and take it's fill, and return 8n season for more. This is our nature.

When you show love, or kindness, when you are generous, or compassionate, those who receive it will return and expect it. They do not consider it holy, they consider your actions as opportunity. The Father is what supplies these holy attributes through us. But, if we do not recognize His Kingdom as that which supplies these fruit, we are considering ourselves as the tree. And the locusts will come, and they will leave us barren.

In heaven, all are like this. They are like children with requirements and expectations. But they know that what they require of expect come from God. So they honor God and praise God, because they do not lack for anything. That kingdom is available to us, and we share with others from it. But do we honor God by recognizing our kindness or patience is of Him? Do we praise Him for the love that comes through us for others?

Galatians 6:7-10
7
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
8
Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
9
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
10
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

It used to be understood that no man is good, not one. It was known that goodness is holy, and holiness come through us, because of or faith. You cannot tire from being holy, but, if you believe that what fruits come through you, is you giving of yourself, you feel stretched thin, you feel drained. When the opposite is true, those who properly share what is given to them, are given more.

There is no joy in believing in yourself as what supplies others with love and it's fruit. And what you have will be devoured, and when you are bare, you will also be alone.
