Paul writes these words to Timothy towards the end of his life. Just a quick read of 2 Corinthians 11:23-28, leaves me with such an appreciation for what it means to have fought the good fight, to have finished the race, and to have kept the faith through it all.
But the apostle Paul isn't my only example...I have personally known others within my own church family that I could confidently claim that they too will be awarded their crown of righteousness.
It is my desire that those within my circle of influence would be able to say the same of me as the sun sets on my life.
There is definitely so much more I could say about this...but today, I feel as though I just need to abide in it. Let my thoughts marinade in this truth. Let the choices I make today and in the next week be filtered through this hope. To be encouraged with this promise.
