It will be tough, very tough, at times and we will be knocked down but we will get up and God will be there to keep guiding our way. If we show strength against the world, determination to beat the devil, dedication to serve our God, and perseverance to overcome our instances; We will win! We will get the championship trophy of eternal life.
God is good!
“Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air.” I Corinthians 9:24-26
