If you don’t quit, you win. Some give up and refuse to continue, due to the false belief that it is too hard. Also they fail to press into God and rely on his strength.
When you fall, get back up and keep going. Persist, listen to and believe God’s promises. Do not give up! You are a winner! God declares it. Agree with him! Keep your eyes focused on Jesus and continue!
As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us. We look away from the natural realm and we fasten our gaze onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection. His example is this: Because his heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be his, he endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God! So consider carefully how Jesus faced such intense opposition from sinners who opposed their own souls, so that you won’t become worn down and cave in under life’s pressures. (Hebrews 12:1-3 TPT)

this is truly what I needed to read.
I just came from reading an article that said: “Why does life fly by faster in your 30’s?” the answer was “because life is more mundane.”
-depressing, right?
Somedays I need to be reminded of God’s plan.

It is so important to get up, when we fall down and keep going. It is amazing how far we can go, when we keep going, no matter how slowly.
