Doing Your Best When Life Is The Worst

What do you do when you give someone your best, but they give you their worst?

Drawing from David’s difficult relationship with King Saul, Pastor Gary explores how to deal with hurt, betrayal, jealousy, and opposition without allowing someone else’s behaviour to change your character. David refused to become spiteful or bitter, but he also understood the importance of wisdom and healthy boundaries.

“Doing Your Best When Life Is the Worst” is a practical and encouraging message about remaining kind without being naïve, forgiving without surrendering healthy boundaries, and faithful even when doing good comes at a cost. You may not be able to control how others treat you, but you can choose who you will become.

Keep loving. Keep serving. Keep building. Even when life gives you its worst, keep giving God your best.
