Almost Gave Up


2 Timothy 2: 4-5
"No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs—he wants to please his commanding officer. Similarly, if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not receive the victor’s crown unless he competes according to the rules."

This morning i had an amazing time... the Lord ministered to me through the song called 'I almost gave up" by Kurt Carr. I can remember so many times, even in the recent years, where times have become difficult and giving up seemed to be an option. I can truthfully say that the Lord has moved me from that point and and is continually strengthening my roots in him. But while reading 2nd Timothy, i was instantly drawn to these 2 verses because they ring so true. In serving God that has to be my number one priority, pleasing him... and following his decrees. Though i cannot quite see the finish line quite yet, i know that if i keep on my course without looking back, he will strengthen me. Serving the Lord is all that i want to do and it's what i will do. I am blessed, so blessed, because when he could have turned a blind eye to me, he didn't. He pursued me and loved me all the more. All that has occurred in the past few months are becoming a distant memory and the Lord is giving me a peace, that feels great. Life feels great :)
