Today: Push.

So that the tested genuineness of your faith—
more precious than gold that perishes though
it is tested by fire—may be found to result in
praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 1:7

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for

my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will
boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so
that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
2 Corinthians 12:9

It’s between us and God. You and God. That’s it.

It takes some people a lifetime to realize that success or
failure rests only God’s hand. He’s given you the power
to show Him what you can do, so it’s up to you to
prove it to him. What He does with that hard work
is still up to Him at the end of the day.

The point is that we trust God enough to push on through

the tough times, knowing full well that what He’s got us
going through is a blessing, according to His word.

SO… push on, forget about the nay-sayers and the people

who don’t have the strength to encourage. Push on, and receive
whatever God does or does not give you. Celebrate all things.
