The journey of the Christian life is filled with challenges and distractions. But the words of Jesus Christ are simple and profound, “But he who endures to the end shall be saved (Matthew 24:13)”. Never allow the voice of the enemy (John 10:10) to cause you to doubt the love of your Creator. Stop running from Him. Stop. He is drawing you back to Himself. Ask Him for wisdom (James 1:5). Surround yourself with brothers and sisters who love Him and you will succeed!
