IT'S GONNA BE WORTH IT ALL!
Have you ever seen the person who goes to the gym but doesn’t really work out or isn’t willing to eat right and cannot figure out why they’re not getting more buff? It is interesting that God set up life in such a way that death brings life. Jesus said it like this, "I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds." John 12:24
Doing things that bring greatness are often difficult to continue in, but oh so worth it! No pain–no gain… Right? It's easy to start losing weight or getting fit, but difficult to follow it through to the end. Walking with God and knowing him is a daily effort. The world and all of its deceitful lusts are pulling and tugging on our hearts and minds every day. Don’t let the devil trick you... you are a conqueror and can succeed because God will live through you and empower you to finish the race.
2Corinthians 4:16-18 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
God is with you right now! I know it isn't easy sometimes, but you can do it! God has never asked you to do something that he cannot do through you! God loves you so much that he sent his only son for you… He went to the cross for you and now it's time for you to take up your cross and follow him! Jesus said to the man who was desperate to see his demon-possessed son delivered, "Everything is possible for him who believes.” Mk 9:23 When things are confusing all around you and life seems to be closing in on you, one thing is of utmost importance – believe! There is nothing that will ensure your victory more than simple trust in God! So what is your most important job? BELIEVE!!! Today is your day to win! God is on your side – you will make it – and, I promise you…
