“Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.” (Galatians 5: 7-8)

You are doing great! You really are! Keep up the footsteps in goodness and you will continue to progress. Don’t lose faith in yourself or in your convictions. That compulsion to give up on our values or to judge ourselves unworthy or incapable does not come from God. It doesn’t come from the One Who called you, Who knew you were ready to shine, to live, to succeed, to give.

It can feel easy to think that we’ve done enough and are tired of the race. We may feel that the challenges are too great for us or that it’s just easier to walk the path of worldly thinking, of negativity, of fear, of doubt, of guilt or blame. But these suggestions don’t come from God. They are not based in Truth. And you are greater than these discouraging and dark thoughts.

We can remember that on this course of growing in grace and Truth, we are not alone. We are not running on personal steam or wits. We are not reliant on human circumstances or other individuals. This good path we are on is God’s path. He is leading us, lifting us, guiding us. In fact, His Life and Love are our fuel, our inspiration, and our confidence.

Don’t give up the race. Do take the time to breathe and realize that each moment on this road gives us new views, new light, new discoveries, new reasons not only to continue, but to enjoy each sweet moment along the way.
