I’m tired. The race has been so long and far; Yet, I look up to see Him on the other side of the finish line. A Heavenly host joins Him and it appears to be a huge cheering section beckoning me to keep running! The end is near…

I can barely catch my breath and my side is splitting in pain so I fall to my knees. I can’t go any further.

A hear an airy gasp from the onlookers and they glance at the Father as His eyes tear up. I realize His heart aches seeing me in such pain but He begins to whisper.

“Remember, child, my faithfulness. Remember, my love for you. Remember, my plans are good and for you. Call upon me. Use the power I’ve given you. Activate your faith.

In a moment, I feel a bubbling well arise and with one foot, then another, I stand back up.

JESUS!!!!! I seem to scream out His name with all of my being. Suddenly, a gust of wind blows and begins to carry me onward. The wind gives me new strength, fresh steps, and the pain of the journey is melting away. Faith returns…

I see the finish line up close now and the myriad of cheerleaders from Heaven’s home jumping up and down waving, “Come On! You can do this!”
A smile forms on my face as I come into agreement, “Yes, I Can.” And just like that….I cross the line.

Victory…
