Finishing Strong

We are not racing in a 100 metres sprint. We are running in a marathon. 

God began a good work in us and He will bring it to completion. 

This race is not marked by personal glory or acclaim, but one that is peppered with God's goodness and mercy. He showers us with His kindness, hope and joy unceasingly.

It is a race marked by triumph and fulfillment in God. In this race, faithful men and women of God persevere and press into the presence of God. We desire to live in the centre of His will. 

No obstacles or challenges can stop us. Nothing will set us on the quitting mode. God is in charge of our destiny. God is in complete control.

We experience undying hope and divine grace daily. Our lives are in the hands of our loving God. 

Deep within us a fire is burning ever brighter and stronger. In the depth of our being, a cry rises up to the Lord. A cry that touches the heart of God. 

We press into His presence.  We savour His goodness. We bask in His glorious presence. 

Running the race takes on a new meaning when our sole desire is to follow hard after our maker. The lover of our soul watches over us. 

We long to see His purposes and plans unfold in our life. Our lives revolve around the Lord.

Thank you, Lord for showing us  Your patient love and  goodness.  

Thank you for doing a deep and  lasting work in us. Teach us Your ways and we will follow You till the very end. We will finish strong by Your unfailing grace and strength.
