Don't forget all the hard times you went through when you first received the light.
Sometimes you were abused and mistreated in public, and at other times you shared in the sufferings of others. You were kind to people in jail. And you gladly let your possessions be taken away, because you knew you had something better, something that would last forever.
Keep on being brave! It will bring you great rewards. Learn to be patient, so you will please God and be given what he has promised.
As the Scriptures say, "God is coming soon! It won't be very long."
Hebrews 10:32-37
The hardest part of the race often comes just before you reach the finish line! You have run well and if you keep going you will finish well, but even as you see the end of the race just ahead your energy wanes and you sense that you are in danger of dropping out!
The best advice for a runner is to focus on the finish line and just keep going no matter what happens or how you feel.
If we are nearing the end of the race as Christians you will be tempted to give up and drop out even at this late hour. Don't do it. Focus on the finish line and keep going no matter what happens or how you feel. This may indeed be the hardest part of the race. You may feel exhausted from all you have already been through, but don't quit, the prize is just ahead!
"Lord, I am tired and weary of life itself but I know that soon You will come or I will go! So Lord help me to stand strong one more day as I wait for You. And then Lord help me to stand strong tomorrow if You don't come today! Thank You Jesus. Amen!"
