The Author & Perfecter

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,

let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles,

and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

²Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith,

who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame,

and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12:1-2

Are you facing major obstacles in your path to fulfilling God's purpose for your life?

Sometimes the obstacles we face are so huge that we begin to feel like

there is no way that our dreams can come to pass.

In fact, you may wake up every morning to negative thoughts like,

"It's over."

"Just accept it."

"It's never going to get any better."

Be encouraged!

God is a faithful God!

He is the Author and Perfecter of our faith.

God will never start something that He cannot finish.

The promise that He has put in your heart--

that you're going to be healed,

that you're coming out of debt,

that your family will be restored--

God has every intention of bringing those promises to pass!

When God put the dream in your heart,

He already had a completion date.

He can already see it done.

You may not see how it can happen.

It may be taking a lot longer than you had anticipated.

All the odds may be against you.

But if you'll just keep believing, keep praying, and keep being your best,

then God promises He is going to finish what He started in you!

Have a blessed & powerful day!
