where do you currently experience pressure to give up on doing good in your own life?

The passage, plainly, with room to sit with it.

Galatians 6:9

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we don’t give up.

Paul, writing to the churches in the Roman province of Galatia around the mid-1st century CE, is addressing various issues, including how believers should live out their faith. In this section, he encourages mutual support and perseverance in good deeds, contrasting it with a legalistic approach to faith.

What might it look like to 'reap' from continued good, even when the immediate reward isn't visible?
