God has something greater for you. Something greater than your circumstances. And although you might be in a hard place right now. And even if it feels like you have been there forever, God is still working.

Don’t lose hope and don’t be discouraged. Keep your focus keenly on Christ. If you can always see where you are going, what’s happening at the moment can feel less intense because you know you have not stopped, perhaps only slowed down.

And knowing that God, who is the Alpha and Omega, has good plans for you should be a mighty source of strength.

I heard a guy who was dying from cancer say, “Although it appears that cancer is winning. The day that cancer crosses the finish line is the day I win. Oh to be in the presence of the Lord.”
