There is a saying,
It doesn't matter how you start but how you finish
I sometimes think of life as a race
In a race, you run and can start out strong
But if you get tired and slow down,
People will pass you
No one congratulates the start of the race
It is about how the race ended
Now you may see other people in life
They are fast and running, making progress in the race of life
Don't compare yourself to them
Your race is not over
You can always have a comeback
You don't have to quit
Never quit
In Ecclesiastes 9:11 it says
The race is not to the swift (fast)
or the battle to the strong,
or does food come to the wise
or wealth to the brilliant
or favor to the learned;
but time and chance happen to them all.
Never give up
A great example of not quitting is
Is the story of the tortoise (turtle) and the hare (rabbit)
The tortoise was slow and steady
And the hare was fast but didn't finish the race
The hare took a nap,
When the race started, the tortoise was far behind the hare
The tortoise kept going and didn't quit
And won the race
The tortoise had a big comeback
So don't put a period where there should be a comma
Don't stop until you win
You can make a comeback
There is nothing that you can't do
The Lord is on your side
You are more than a conqueror
You must believe in yourself
And more importantly
You must believe in your Father God
God loves you
And has already supplied you with all you need
To do all He called you to do, Be what God called you to be
Remember Philippians 4:13
It says I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength
You can, No! You will have a comeback
Stop thinking negative thoughts
and start speaking positively; keep saying positive words until you believe them
I know that life can have many setbacks
But the best comeback stories have major setbacks
There is nothing too hard for God
No matter what you are going through
There is someone who can say they have been in your situation
and no longer struggling but striving
God can take your hurts and pain and turn them into joy
God wants you to live and enjoy life in abundance
to the full until it overflows
An overflow of blessing
An overflow of goodness
You can make a comeback
Don't stress or worry
God has you
In Deuteronomy 31:6 it says
Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid or terrified because of them,
For the Lord your God goes with you;
He will never leave you nor forsake you."
May I pray for you?
Father God,
I pray for the person reading this blog
I pray that You will bless and provide for them
Give them faith, joy, and peace
I pray that their story will have such a remarkable comeback
that all the setbacks and hardships they endured
Will be forgotten
I pray that You, Lord, will show them Your glory and power
Be with them in every area of their lives
Guild their steps
I pray that their future is bright
And that nothing will stop them from achieving their goals
And going after their dreams
Let they believe that with You, Lord, All things are possible
