Service today's encouraging. Hearing testimonies of people I know, made it even more encouraging. A brother, who was an ex-convict, dropped out of school, now pursuing a degree, gave up a romantic relationship, to pursue the degree still, instead of listening to his heart, all when he heard Him say that, He has greater plans for him. Just one word from Him, and He obeyed, despite the constant tuggings of his heart for something much more tangible. God changes lives, and continue to do so, always.
A sister, who took 10 years to complete her degree, due to her health, her personal difficulties, still saw hope in God, despite all the seemingly discouraging signs in front of her.
Hope - an active pursuit of expecting something to happen from God. How not to lose hope? The hope from God? How to keep living the dream? Yup, the main geist of the sermon.
It matters not how we started the race, but how we finish it......
