I will not turn back

 Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward.~ 2 John 8

I've come too far to turn back and I still have a journey to tread.  When I read this verse it reminds me not to become complacent.  I am to do more than rely on religious activity.  I am to worship God in sprit and in truth.   I am to hold on.  Hebrews 10: 23 say " Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful"

I serve a faithful God who has brought me through a lot.  I serve a God who covers me.  I serve a God who blesses me and answers prayers.  He is amazing and I could go on and on.  I want to keep my fervor for the Lord. As Paul says I want to continue to run the race.  I want the prize.  The prize is Jesus.  

The prize is having eternal life with my Savior.  No more wars.  No more worries about gas prices and food prices.  No more anxiety,  No more health issues. No more worries about sin. There will be peace.  There will be joy.  There will be unity and harmony.  There will be love.

So I am going to keep my spiritual eyes open and actively wait well.  .  I am not working to earn what was freely given to me by grace.  I am working because of that grace.  I want to hear Him say well done they good and faithful servant.  I am going to keep marching on this Christian journey until my day comes.

Father, I love You.  Let me not take Your gift of salvation for granted.  Let me remain steady on this journey and bring others with me.  Let me keep my focus on You.  You are my reward.  In Jesus name I pray. Amen
