– Allowing your desire for a goal to push you beyond all obstacles –
In this world you live in, you will face many challenges. You will be afraid of some things, you will not know how to do some things, you will feel discouraged by some things – many things will try to get in the way of you accomplishing your purpose, the goal God gave you for your life. Growing your passion for God and His kingdom will help you stay strong, focused, and successful, even when you are afraid, or don’t know what to do, or feel discouraged. In the end, you will care more about what God thinks of you and how you used what He gave you than you will care about anything else. Never stop building on your passion for God!
“fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame” – Hebrews 12:2a (NIV)
