Do The Hard Thing!

Todays’ society seems to be driven by comfort and familiarity. Not everyone, but many or most don’t want to challenge the waves, they would prefer to coast. And I’m no different on most days. If I could, I would lay in bed and scroll away. But then I’d look up and see my life and wonder how it got that way! In disarray. Oh no,No,NO! I’m the captain of my sea and the conqueror of my shore or whatever they said. (“I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul,”-Invictus) I’m not losing opportunity because I’d prefer to stay in bed. Though I love to get sleep, too much sleep leads to poverty. Now that’s what GOD’s HOLY WORD says in Proverbs 6:11. I must work the works of HIM that sent me on my journey back to HEAVEN. I know many prefer their comfort and just to ride the waves of life. But I realize I’m different it must be a gift from GOD. I don’t enjoy doing the hard thing but it’s what keeps moving me forward. The decision to write, to take flight, and fight. No not for a physical defeat. I’m fighting the good fight of faith for the life GOD has promised me. I’m looking at my life now and noticing how GOD has always been with me. How JESUS paved the way so that we could live life, abundantly. So though, many may be in love with the regular and the mundane. I encourage you to DREAM BIG, see yourself with a lion’s mane. Don’t just let life dictate to you how things are supposed to be. What did GOD say? HIS WORD trumps everything. You can start today, and you don’t have to tell anybody. Just make a decision to change. A decision to get and use wisdom. A decision to decline the offers of everything that is not like GOD. To keep moving forward even when things get hard. And then you’ll look up and you’ll see, you’re that much closer to destiny. I encourage you to study. I encourage you to SOAR. I encourage you to do your best and once you’ve WON, get proper rest, and then do more. You are capable! You are able! You are what this world needs! The secret is that most of what we want, is on the other side of doing what may appear to be the hard thing. There are blessings that befall us just by being a child of GOD. However, additionally there are benefits for those that don’t just have faith, but they also work hard. To you my brother and sister, I’m praying for you and please know that I love you, but JESUS loves you most. And we’re praying that you WIN. Before you accomplish it, you have to BELIEVE. GOD believes in you greatly and HIS WORD says you can accomplish anything! (Philippians 4:13) #HappyNewYear #GOFORTH
