He Will Help You Reach The Finish Line

"Take pride in how far you have come and have faith in how far you can go." Christian Larson

 Have you ever gotten discouraged because where you were didn't even seem remotely close to the finish line of your journey? Maybe that is where you are today. So many times when we are on a journey, we think that we have come such a long ways and we believe in ourselves, but, when we look at the distance we still have left to go, we begin to get discouraged and lose that belief in ourselves that we had so strongly before. Where did it go and how can we gain back that strength and that confidence that we need to keep going?
 Well, what you are looking for may not be in human form or in the form of a feeling that you are seeking, but rather, a source that can provide all of our strength, all of our confidence, and so much more. What you are looking for, is God. When we are stuck on this path, He can help us find the motivation that we need to keep going. God wants you to not only keep going, but even though you might have a far way to go still, He wants you to look back. He wants you to see how far that you have come. He wants you to be proud of what you have accomplished and conquered to get to this point. He wants you to reflect on all the ways that He found to bring you to where you are today. Then He wants you to look forward. He wants you to know that even though it might seem like a long ways, He will bring to that end point just like He has brought to where you are right now. You just need to have faith that, no matter how long the distance is, you can make it and God will be right there by your side.
 So today, look behind you and be proud of how far you have come, and then look in front of you, and have faith that, no matter what lies ahead, no matter how long of a journey it is, God will always be at your side and He will help you reach that finish line.
