Acts 20:24
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, *so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus*, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
John 17:4
I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.
There’s a reason why the Bible says in Romans 14:12, that
“Every one of us shall give account of HIMSELF to God”. Note very well that, YOU account for YOURSELF. You can’t pass this on to someone else. And this is why the Apostle Paul emphasizes in Galatians 6:4-5
“But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in HIMSELF ALONE, AND NOT IN ANOTHER. For each one shall bear his own load.”
One guy said, “I really hate where I am and I am not fulfilled there”. Then that begs the question, “Why are you still there?” “Who or what is keeping you there?”. Understand something, YOUR CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES EXIST BECAUSE YOU HAVE ACCEPTED AND PERMITTED IT. The day you say NO, that’s the day things start changing. Yes, it will take some work and some effort but you will get there in Jesus name. Nobody will run your race for you; And nobody will finish your course for you. Get up, dust yourself up, set your eyes on the goal, and keep moving forward. THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH. And you are surrounded by an invisible great cloud of witnesses cheering you on. You can do this sister, You can do this brother.
LET’S BRING GLORY TO GOD BY FINISHING WHAT HE SENT US HERE TO DO. That’s the Crown of Righteousness. Hallelujah! Glory to God!
GRACEFUL MORNING
