DON’T YOU QUIT! | GNOMIC Motivation

Dreams don’t run out of steam– people do. Too often we give up too soon. We listen to the voice of the critics, who’ve never accomplished anything themselves and never will. That’s why they criticize, saying, “it can’t be done,” because they haven’t done it. Or, we start looking at the odds instead of the evens; the minuses instead of the plusses; the negatives instead of the positives, or we look at the wind and the waves, taking our eyes off the goal, and start to sink.

In short, we give up on our dream and our whole world turns into a nightmare. Always has, always will.

The good book encourages us to “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 12:2). What do you think kept JESUS going? A dream? Absolutely! His dream was seeing people, like you and me, get the opportunity to have our sins forgiven and a home in Heaven. His dream came at a high price. Most dreams do. His dream meant His own death in order that you and I might have life. And not just any old life, but “life more abundant!”

Now, if Jesus never stopped short of His dream, why must we? Fix your eyes on the goal, endure the shame and disappointments, and never give up!

Don’t you give up on your dream! Don’t you quit!
