Too Far
You are here.
Think about it.
Did you ever think you would make it this far?
Think of all battles won, voices quieted, and lies dispelled.
Remember when God saved you and told you the truth of who you are?
Remember when He dusted you off, cleaned you up, and loved you back to life?
Remember all those challenges you faced and goals you crushed?
Never EVER tire of pausing to honor the work that has gotten you this far.
Thanks be to God, that's for sure.
You and God have worked too hard and come too far; there is no chance you are giving up or turning back now.
From this point forward, you will not believe or receive anything less than what God says you are worthy of.
You've come too far to give your power away.
You've come too far to listen to lies and turn up their nonsense.
You've come too far not to trust that God will make a way.
You've come too far to fall back.
Everything that has happened up to this point is going to be worthwhile.
God will use every bit of it—the pain, the hurt, the betrayals, the disappointments, the mistakes—to strengthen you for what lies ahead.
Don't look back because you aren't going that way.
There is a future you who will reflect on this very moment and beam with pride.
Believe you are worthy of a beautiful future because you are.
Our journey from the ashes ain't over yet, and if you think you've come far now, wait to see what lies ahead.
I can't wait to see what God has planned. I know it's gonna be AMAZING!
Jeremiah 29: 11-13
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
Isaiah 43: 18-19
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
Philippians 3:12
Not that I have already obtained it [this goal of being Christlike] or have already been made perfect, but I actively press on so that I may take hold of that [perfection] for which Christ Jesus took hold of me and made me His own.
