Hold on Until the End

Encouragement from Streams in the Desert that has inspired "..wind beneath my wings..." and I pray it does the same for you.

Remember:
"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning."
(Psalms 30:5)

"And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we can have in Him: (we are sure) that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us."
(1 John 5:14)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We are made partaker of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end" (Heb. 3:14)


It is the last step that wins; and there is no place in the pilgrim's progress where so many dangers lurk as the region that lies hard by the portals of the Celestial City. It was there that Doubting Castle stood. It was there that the enchanted ground lured the tired traveler to fatal slumber. It is when Heaven's heights are full in view that hell's gate is most persistent and full of deadly peril. "Let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." "So run, that ye may obtain."

In the bitter waves of woe
Beaten and tossed about
By the sullen winds that blow
From the desolate shores of doubt,
Where the anchors that faith has cast
Are dragging in the gale,
I am quietly holding fast
To the things that cannot fail.
And fierce though the fiends may fight,
And long though the angels hide,
I know that truth and right
Have the universe on their side;
And that somewhere beyond the stars
Is a love that is better than fate.
When the night unlocks her bars
I shall see Him--
and I will wait.
--Washington Gladden

The problem of getting great things from God is being able to hold on for the last half hour. --Selected
