But I am here to tell you, my friend, that your time is coming. Your blessing is on its way. There are times when things may feel like it's not happening how you expect them to, but that’s not the time to give up. It's not the time to scale back. It's time to push. You see many people give up right when they are on the brink of their success. There are many reasons this happens: • Lack of resources • Fear • Disappointment in not hitting their target • Feeling like a failure • The failure of success and many other reasons. If this is happening, there needs to be a perspective shift that takes place. That perspective shift is realizing the work that you’ve already done in the process as the reward, not the goal that you’re trying to reach. Let me break it down for you. We all define success differently. Sometimes success can be measured by planning a goal and going after it. But the Bible tells us in Colossians 3:23-24: 23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord that you are serving. This means that whatever we do, whether your goal is achieved or not, work on the vision as if you're working for the Lord. This is the true definition of success.
whatever we do, whether your goal is achieved or not, work on the vision as if you're working for the Lord. But, friend, walk with me in this, I want you to shift your perspective and look at all that God has done for you in the process. Look at how you’ve evolved and grown. What you used to do, you don’t anymore— in the past, you might’ve given Your first try may not be what you expected. It may not seem excellent or "perfect" but that's okay. Keep plowing the ground and you'll look up and see how much you've accomplished. I want you to look at your life. Somewhere in your life, you may have had a goal or something you wanted to achieve but maybe it didn’t happen the way you wanted it to. somebody a choice of words when you were upset, but now, you just put it all in the Lord's hands. Now, that's real growth. You see, most times when things aren’t working the way you think they should, it’s easy to quit, but I want to encourage you not to quit.
