This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life.
Today I simply want to share with you the chorus to an old hymn — one that beautifully and eloquently sums up the reward for anything unpleasant, hurtful, or even dangerous we experience here on earth because of our love for Christ.
It will be worth it all when we see Jesus.
Life’s trials will seem so small when we see Christ.
One glimpse of His dear face; all sorrows will erase.
So bravely run the race, till we see Christ.
Dear God, help me do just that — bravely run the race. Help me stand strong against anything that tries to sway me away from You. Help me move past anything that tries to block my path of following You. In the name of Jesus, I pray these things, Amen.
