Perseverance

I love how God works in our lives. He’s been giving me the same words over and over again in His word, or through people I know. I see it and I love it. Perseverance never giving up and having Faith. I love that we are all working on our races, so that we can finish. In order to do this we need to commit to what we want to do. Find your motivation. Bring your best. 2 Timothy says” I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.”

No matter what happens stay in the race. Acts 20:24 says ” However I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race, and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me. The task of testifying the good news of God’s grace. ” It will get hard but there is nothing that you can’t do without the Lord at the centre of your life .

Many of you know that I work with a Boy who has a brain injury. I’ve known him since he was two and a half and he’s now 10. I love this boy so much and I love that I get to spend my summer with him. I love the relationship we have where we can laugh about crazy things.

When things are hard and I want to give up, I think of this boy there is nothing that he can’t do. He was not supposed to be able to walk, talk and do all the things he’s done in his life. I watched this boy learn to talk and have a video of the first time he said my name. I’ve watched him learn how to ride a two wheeler like children his age. Learn to swim, and I have watched him play all kinds of sports his latest is baseball.

One of the greatest things is from the moment I met him and his family, I prayed for them often. G now has a relationship with Jesus him and his dad. We go places and he sings out loud in the back of the car songs about the Lord. He knows all the worship songs and now he plays his drums to the music. I love that.

When things were hard he have to work extra hard to be able to do them, but he never gave up and he’s got the most amazing story , of where he was to who he is today. This boy is a miracle and God uses him everyday. So never forgot that God uses everyone. Finish the race and keep the Faith.
