” For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ.” Hebrews 3:14
As I reflect back to when I was first saved, I remember that there was nothing that could stand in my way when it came to announcing the salvation message. I was on fire. I wanted everyone to know the message and the true meaning of what Jesus went through for me. As the years have passed, I see that there have been times when that fire has not been as bright as when I first accepted Jesus. There are many reasons for that but each and every reason can be overcome by a strong faith and trust in my Lord. As a baby Christian I did things without thinking and even sometimes I did things that may not have been wise. But my God was there to always protect me. He always picked me up and helped me learn from my unwise decisions. As I have grown over the years, I hope I have become a little wiser, but I must always remember that when I fail my God is always there to pick me up. I have learned that failure is not always a bad thing. I have learned more from failing than I have from succeeding. The Lord has shown me that I must not be afraid to fail. I cannot let fear block me from telling the story of salvation. I may be ridiculed or persecuted but I must move forward. I must stand up with faith, and trust what my God tells me. I must not allow my fire to burn out, but I must keep it burning. For when I have finished my journey, I will share in what belongs to Christ! I will share in his wonderful presence and loving arms. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
