Hold On!

God will find you in your trial. Though you may crawl in a fox hole to hide, He will be there to meet you. Hold on, Love will find you. As your hope becomes more founded in Him, in things eternal, difficult times may not let up nor stop (they may very well get worse) but the burden will be light when compared to Christ. So hold on to Him.
When you cling to things that fade, you store up for yourselves treasures here on an earth that will one day melt away and be no more. When you cling to Christ through trial; allowing God to perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you, you are storing for yourself treasures in Heaven.
Do not lean on your own understanding, you are not as smart as you think you are - just hold on. Run the race set before you letting Christ in eternity be the finish line so when you get where you are going, Jesus will say to you, "Well done good and faithful servant. I told you it was worth it."


"Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you."
Psalm 73:25

"God is most glorified in you, when you are most satisfied in Him -- in the midst of loss not prosperity." - John Piper

"Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. You're not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It's the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won't last forever. It won't be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does."
1 Peter 5: 8-11 (The Message)
