“But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” (1 Corinthians 15:57-58)

“God lights the path you walk. Sometimes you can see far ahead but other times you have only enough light to see where you are at the moment. These are the times that you need to take your next step completely with your faith in Him. Be brave and know that, although you might stumble, He will not let you fall.”

“The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.” (Psalm 37:23-24 NIV)

“No situation is hopeless. There may be times when things seem quite bleak and we tire of struggling – but once we lose hope – all is lost. Trust in God to lift you up and guide your path. Never let your trust in Him be overtaken by hopelessness and a loss of faith in His ways.”

“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:29-21 NIV)

“The least suspecting of us are sometimes called to carry out an important mission for God. If Jesus could choose a man named Paul, one whose job was to persecute the new followers of Christ, to undertake the task of changing the world in His name, don’t be surprised when He calls on you, one of his faithful, to help Him lift up others in their hour of need. Be ready, His call to you is coming soon.”

““About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’ “‘Who are you, Lord?’ I asked. “‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ he replied. ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ I asked. “‘Get up,’ the Lord said, ‘and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do.’” (Acts 22:6-8,10 NIV)

“Learn from the past, don’t live in it. You will never be able to reach forward to the abundance of His favor that awaits you if you are constantly looking behind you. Things that have happened to you in the past might be hard to get over but you need to try to deal with them and move forward from here.”

“But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things.” (Philippians 3:13-15 NIV)
