In a recent sermon my pastor raised three questions. 1) How would you summarize your life up to this point? 2) How would those who know you best summarize your life? 3) How would God summarize your life? After thinking about it for a few days here’s what I came up with in regards to his first question—“How would you summarize your life? I never quit. I never gave up. No matter how grievously I might have failed I always got back in the game. In the end I want to be able to say with the apostle Paul…
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
— 2 Timothy 4:7 (NIV)
Lord Jesus, give us the determination to persevere no matter how difficult the challenge. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
