Never give up, friends.
This is a re-post of Julie Gorman’s wonderful message at His Love Extended. With her kind permission, I share it with you.
Run! Press on! Never Give up!
Nothing is impossible for God!
Words on a paper for some, but for those of us who have been pressed down, pushed around, and live in the classification of the underdog…these words inspire our soul…igniting our hope.
Today, God placed such a passion in my soul to encourage you to NEVER GIVE UP; what you hope for is NOT in vain. Check out these amazing promises:
Isaiah 49:23, “…those who hope in me will not be disappointed.” (NIV)
Isaiah 40:31, “those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (NIV)
Isaiah 54:4, “Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated.” (NIV)
Friends, the essence of our faith is that God is good, God is able, and God always prevails. So, if we really believe that, then let’s run our race, press on no matter what…AND NEVER…EVER…. EVER…GIVE UP!
Let’s quit worrying about tomorrow and embrace today. Let’s LIVE each day as if it were our last. Let’s Laugh in the face of adversity and the impotent threats of the enemy (knowing GOD is GREATER). And, let’s LOVE with all the depth of God’s spirit that lives in us, extending mercy, grace, and forgiveness.
Today, I encourage you to envision standing before GOD; lift every concern, worry, or fear up to Him; ask Him to take them from you. Thank Him for Who He is. Thank Him for His promises. Thank Him that He is able. Praise Him that HE ALWAYS PREVAILS and that He empowers us to do ALL He has called us to.
And then, Run! Press on! Never Give up! Why? Because, Nothing is impossible for God!
Prayer: Father, You alone are our hope. You alone hold our victory. We put our hope in You. Thank You that You love us. Thank You that we can trust in You! Fill us with the power to do all that You have called us to!
Sharing hope with your heart,
Thank you for this SO TRUE message.
God Bless
Yes, it encouraged me greatly so I asked Julie Gorman if I could re-post here. She graciously said, Yes. It blessed me and I’m glad it blessed you too. 🙂
