Everyone has a story. Each one of us has been through something that was hard to walk out.  Some of it is because of bad choices we have made to sin.  Others are attacks of the enemy.  While some things we have to walk through is just life. 

As we run this race we will come upon a lot of things.  Facing adversity is one of the biggest struggles for many Christians. Enduring opposition will give us strength.  When we feel anything but peace, He is our peace. Our joy comes from the Lord. 

We are called to walk in love even when we don’t feel the emotion.  Some people are hard to love, their actions make us feel the emotions that lean toward the opposite of love.  But Jesus loves the unlovable. He loved me when I wasn’t capable of loving him back.

We have two choices every day, do we run this race or do we quit.  If we quit, we will be plunged into darkness left to navigate life totally on our own.  If we keep running this race, it will be rough at times but God is with us to help us run this race.  The choice is a no brainer. 

2 TIM 2:3-4   3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

We have to find the strength to keep fighting and keep pushing forward.  He never promised we would not have difficult times.  He did promise to never leave us or forsake us.  With Him, we have Him there to strengthen us, there is not anything we cannot endure.

It is all about pushing through the pain and enduring the opposition we come up against. Heaven is real and waiting for us to finish this race well. Hold on my friends, keep going.  You do not go alone, Jesus is with you.

BE BOLD, BE  BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
