I watched a very powerful video today, and it was exactly what I needed.
It's awesome how God comes into your life, and speak to you. Unexpected but always on time. Never too early, never too late.
Sometimes, you keep looking to the left and right, and what you see discourages you...but then God brings you right back to Him, to focus upon Him.
You fall...you cry...but then comes a point when you decide that enough is enough, and you stand up again to finish the race. You might not start it well, you might not even have it good mid-way, but either way, you finish the race.
And then, somewhere along the race, you might not see it, but He pushes through every single thing, every single situation, just to get to you. His eyes are on you, He's running towards you, and when He reaches you, the first thing He does is to put His arm around you, hold Your hand, and run with you till the end of the race.
This is my Father. (:
Romans 8:37-39
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Stop fighting, and there's no battle to begin with.
Keep fighting; it's not the end till He says it is.
He sees. He knows. He cares. He listens.
And He runs.
He runs towards you like how a father would run towards his child who's crying, who has fallen down, who's dejected.
And He fights with you, run with you.
The pain is still there, but at least there's someone else holding you up, running alongside you.
2 Corinthians 12:7-10
7To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
I am weak, but You are strong.
In my weakness, Your strength is made perfect.
Run the race...fight the good fight of faith (:
