Endurance is the price tag of achievement...

Had a tough week, had a meltdown and then God spoke to me thur my devotional email this morning. (See Below)

I lost 1 pound this week and I will take that instead of gaining. Its been a stressful week at work and this following week doesn't sound like it will be any better. BUT I will not let it ruin my weight loss goal, I WILL NOT let food temptations knock me down this week. It's not an easy road to follow but its the road I am choosing to stay on until the end.


Why don't we see more of God's promises fulfilled in our lives? Because we overlook the process. It is in the process of reaching the promise that we become discouraged and quit. Success in any venture lies in holding on, even when others let go. We demand instant gratification and if we don't get it we leave our jobs, our churches, and even our families. But there's a process we must go through, regardless of our level of faith. There are no shortcuts. We've got to pay full price; it never goes on sale. Endurance is the price tag of achievement: '… in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart' (Galatians 6:9 NKJV).


Hang in there - what God has in store for you is worth any price you have to pay.
