Enduring Love

When someone mentions endurance we may think of a sport like running track; Endurance in swimming; or climbing a mountain we tend to associate the word with great endeavors however, endurance is important in every facet of life. I love Paul’s writings for various reasons, one of which, I think we think alike, there was a time in life when I looked at things, a lot, in black n` white, and still do in some cases. That’s a whole other paper, but there are some issues in life, where we are called to going with God or not. Endurance as to where Paul was, is being at a place where nothing could prevent us from completion. Let us begin by taking a look at endurance by Websters definition: 1: Permanence, duration <the endurance of the play's importance>
2: The ability to withstand hardship or adversity ; especially : the ability to sustain a prolonged stressful effort or activity <a marathon runner's endurance>

3: The act or an instance of enduring or suffering Endurance is the ability to exert one’s self through exercise for relatively long periods of time. <endurance of many hardships>

Let look at runners, at 5:00 AM before classes I used to run long distance everyday for right at five years, Just as long distance runners have to pace themselves in a race, you should pace yourself in the spiritual race of life. Be steady and consistent whereas you will cross the finish line.

Runners must also prepare for the race by:
Eating right,. Drink plenty of fluids, stretching, breathing properly, and practice runs. Just as a runner we must be keeping our Spiritual nutrition a daily plessure. Proverbs speaks of the mind and keeping our thoughts on God whereas the enemy cannot fool us. Are you preparing for life everyday? The Word of God (The True & Living Word of God =The Bible.) is our life line to keeping our fellowship with God uninterrupted. God works on us sometimes like stretching clay on a potter’s wheel, in order to do away with the things that can lead us astray. Our breathing like a runner is us breathing in the word and His Holy Spirits bringing us to a place of closeness / Serenity with HIM.. If you are a living, breathing individual, your inner self desires your oneness with your creator.

When we stepped into time we started the life race, oh but how short the race really is, what if we are called home before, what we thought was our time?. Would you be prepared? many upon many are not.. Do you prepare daily for the race?

Just as every race there is an end. One day your life will end here, Remember we are not promised tomorrow, what we do today is what we will be held accountable for, are you storing treasures in heaven.Now.?.

Each of us will face the end result of our life here it is the time to live for God, our journey here is but a breeze of the wind the Bible says, The only way you can have a complete life is with your creator, but you can only be the ones who calls on HIM.
Take on the Endurance qualities of the King for His Grace is everlasting, His word, His promises last forever-more even to the end of time / beyond this world. His Love covers a multitude of sin and is Life changing. His presence is simply indescribable. Keep your eyes set on the finish line. Keep your eyes on God, because time is short and in just a little while, we will all rejoice at HIS Glorious appearing.

Each Day is A Brand New Opportunity to be JESUS To The WORLD.... ~’
