I won't give up - Jason Mraz

Last Sunday, Chung Yan shared how his mum compared him with the others, i.e. personal achievement, job, etc.

I experienced the same last night. My mum judged that attending to church is wasting time, Christian is devil-nature, I'm a failure because not earning lots of money. The words were insulting and totally denied myself. That's pretty hurt. However, my heart was calm. Why was I too calm for this?

May be I know someone experienced the same and I'm not the only one facing this kind of situation. 
May be I know my mum needed a way to express her temper. And I was just the unlucky one to suffer this.
May be I don't care about what she said anymore. I don't even care if she becomes a Christian or not. 
My brain told me not to give up, but inside my heart, I'm too tired to carry on.

Through all the experience, I have to trust it's all worth.
Through all the space and grace, I have to believe there is still so much awaiting for me to explore and grow up. 
Seems like Jesus telling me that: 
"And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find"



When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up, still looking up.

Well, I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
