How long can you hold on to the hope that you have?
How long can you keep going when you feel like you can’t go any longer?
One more day?
One more hour?
15 More Seconds?
10 More Seconds?
Counting down Praising the LORD, now look where your endurance has brought you and where you have come from!
It is not too late for you to start brand new Today!
LOOK UP and KEEP your FOCUS on GOD
Who takes your mind off of the endurance that you feel …
and are passing through for a little while!
Endurance is a gift …
to get you somewhere better,
GREATER
and Higher than you have ever been before!
Sure you can see yet,
because you haven’t been there before!
FAITH keeps marching on though…
and before long you will see what God knew all along!
We can look higher and trust in the power of the living God who lives in us!
AND, we have a job to do along our way to the many blessings that we hope for …
Walk by faith/not by sight with the enduring & powerful love of Christ alive in our heart!
Faithfully focusing on Whom God IS and who He makes us to be!
My job is the same as yours:
Faithfully & Unconditionally, Trusting and Obediently Believing in God…
and each day experiencing more of who Jesus is to you and who you are to Him.
Greater is He who lives in me than he that is in the world!
The joy of the Lord IS our strength!
And, the God who made you … and knows you better than you know your own capabilities … knows the value of His promise to us that we can endure for a little while -Trusting God that our hope is set in Him and we shall overcome!
“I am not what I ought to be.
I am not what I want to be.
I am not what I hope to be.
But still, I am not what I used to be.
And by the grace of God, I am what I am.”
John Newton
Grace is the power of God living inside of you to accomplish all good and righteous things!
Natural strength is what we receive from the hand of God the Creator. Spiritual strength is what we receive from God in grace!
Watchman Nee
“Once I knew what it was to rest upon the rock of God’s promises, and it was indeed a precious resting place, but now I rest in his grace. He is teaching me that the bosom of his love is a far sweeter resting place than even the rock of his promises.”
Hannah Whitall Smith
Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Hold on to the hope that you have and reach out in faith to do more than you can do -all that God can do through you! And endure for a little while longer, for the God of hope will go with you through your storm & HE will raise you up to be more than you can be alone!
Blessings and Love in Christ,
