David Wilkerson wrote a book in 1982 titled “Have You Felt Like Giving Up Lately?” I bought a copy and read it. I found it very encouraging and it helped me realize how many Christians are tempted to give up at times. I know I have.

Christians have a hard time loving themselves. Sometimes they don’t even like themselves. It is easy to understand why when we are tempted to compare ourselves to a perfect God. If we maintain that approach, we will always be down on ourselves. We can never make the mark. Perfection just isn’t in our DNA.
