The bible says that the end of a thing is better than the beginning of a thing…Ecclesiastes 7:8…and for some they never keep striving or pushing to get to the end of the thing…they give up midpoint..instead of staying focused on their task at hand..they look way to far ahead at where there trying to go in their life and then they get overwhelmed because it seems like that ending never will come…that there is to much to accomplish to ever reach that end…but guys with anything in our lives that we are going to achieve or receive we must persevere…we must stay focused and we must take it one day at a time…for the end is always better than the beginning…because it’s never easy going through change…going through growth…for many that our studying, doing finals and exams…they get wore out…they get tired…but they know that they have to push through it…because they know that their end is going to be worth it…so today that is my thoughts for us and our lives and the journey that we all are on with the Lord…that sometimes the journey is long and hard…and sometimes we do get a little tired from it all…but as well when we look at the end of our lives and we understand that the end is going to be worth all of the struggle then we hold on…we don’t give up and we don’t give in…but we keep moving and pushing forward to reach our heavenly homes…for the hardships and the hard times there not gonna last forever guys…for the bible says that our lives is but a vapor were here for only a moment and then we will vanish away..James 4:14…so wherever we are today just know that this isn’t the end for any of us..for us to die is to live the word says.Philippians 1:21..never the less we are crucified with Christ…not I that lives but Christ that lives in me..Galatians 2:20..so I try my best to live my life as if today were my last day here on this earth…and I try my best to shine Jesus..and give this ole world the Lord…for that’s what it’s all about…loving and giving of ourselves to everyone in whom we meet and in whom we know…never causing heartaches or strife…but just living it actually breathing it our lives one day at a time…doing the very best we can with what we have…for all that’s here is vanity..Ecclesiastes 1:14..that’s why we look to heaven…and that’s why we store up our treasures there…for the word says that where our treasures are there as well will be our hearts…Matthew 6:19-21…so realize that were only here for a season in life…so let each of us make that season count…let us all leave behind something great in which others can follow after and model their lives after..let us do our best to live the best life that we can…always striving for more of Jesus…and always less of us…for us to live in the spirit the word says we won’t mind the things of the flesh..Galatians 5:16….and I pray all of our focus is on the end of the thing…not where we are…not what we’ve been through..or even where we’ve been..but Praise the Lord where were going…In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray…Amen and Amen…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
