The pain of settling in life, for a ‘good enough, get-by, comfortable’ kind of life, is far more painful in the long run than the pain of living a disciplined, intentional life.
Too many people let their feelings and emotions dictate their lives while Champions are driven and led by PURPOSE.
For we are God’s masterpiece, created anew in Christ Jesus, to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10
“Forget what is behind and strain, stretch toward what is ahead.” ~ Philippians 3:13
When things get tough, mediocrity tempts you to quit…But don’t give up! God has privileged you with goals and dreams to fulfill. You CAN press through, warrior! See with eyes of faith and put on an armor of courage to fight the battle of complacency that wills to hold you back. With humility and thankfulness, fan the flame of excellence that began in your mind and took root in your heart. On the ladder of your life there is no static hold. You’re either climbing or you’re slipping! You must choose intentionally to persevere!!
If the God of the Universe is for you, who can be against you?
PROP: Persist. Resolve. Overcome. Persevere.
I want to change the world for Jesus, so daily, I have to change my mind. I can’t go by what I feel. I must put on a winning, overcoming, champion-believing, thankful and grateful mindset.
THIS is where victors or victims are made — it’s in the battlefield that’s taking place in the way we think.
If you think down, you’ll go down. If you think up, you’ll come up.
The way you think about yourself, the way you think about your body is the way you’ll treat it. See, it’s not your limits that are holding you back from being healthy and fit, it’s the way you think about yourself. And, Jesus gives you a new mind. He makes you new, heals you from the inside-out, and gives you a new perspective and way of thinking. He helps you to believe in yourself, because His Spirit relentlessly whispers to yours that He is for you, He believes in you. His love changes everything.
GOD SAYS YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE! And, He has NOT given you a spirit of fear or timidity or mediocrity, but of POWER, LOVE and a SOUND, POWERFUL MIND. (2 Timothy 1:7). Now, CHOOSE to believe it. Choose to have faith. Choose Jesus, and put on the CHAMPION mind of Christ!
CRUSH SOME GOALS without excuses today.
God says you can. (Philippians 4:13). So, believe it and MOVE forward, Champion!
Keep going! God isn’t finished with you yet.
He will bring it to pass! Don’t give up!
Walk. By. Faith.
Do. The. Work.
Do the good work that God has called you to do. Be your best self for the sake of Christ and the Gospel. Whatever you do, do it with all of your heart for JESUS! It may take longer than you thought. You may feel tired and worn. But, know that God is working it out as you surrender to His love and follow hard after Him. Trust Him and His perfect timing! You’re going to make it to the other side! HE HAS YOU!
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. Philippians 1:6
You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.
Hebrews 10:36
