Endure To The End...

"Theoe people who keep their FAITH until the end will be saved"
Mark 13:13
Are you close to quitting? Please don't do it. Are you discouraged? Hang in there. are you sick of bad things happening around? Think of the good times. Are you weary with doing good? Do just a little more. Are you pessimistic about your job? Roll up your sleeves and go at it again. No communication in your marriage? Give it one more shot...
Remember, a finisher or a winner is not one with no wounds or weariness. Quite to the contrary, he, like the boxer is scarred and bloody. Mother Teresa is credited with saying, "God didn't call us to be successful, just faithful." The fighter, like our Jesus, is pierced and full of pain. He, like Paul, may even be bound and beaten. But He remains.
The Lord of Promise is Jesus. He says he awaits for those who endure. It is not just for those who make the victory laps or drink champagne. No sir. The Lord of Promise is for those who simply remains to the Lord.
So if there's anything bad that happened to yourself, or a love one, have faith. Take it to heart. Cos thats where Jesus is, in your heart. He will give you the strength to endure the pain, to go through the journey. He promises never to leave you, and He will keep his promises. He suffered and endure the pain and beating for our sins, each scar He has reminds Him of one of us, so remember Him in these times of need, for He is the God Almighty!
It started with me waking up in the morning, and thinking about what to write here. I have not a clue, but God spoke and says write this and many will be touched. I hope you guys can hear what my heart is trying to say. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but have a little faith, pray a little more, be still with Him often, it might still be hard, but it's easier with Him by your side.
