John 19:30

"When Jesus had tasted it, He said, "It is finished!" Then He bowed His head and released His spirit."
"IN ORDER TO GROW, WE MUST BE STRETCHED!"
Mountains are surrounded by one of two things:
Valleys or Plains.
Either way, in order to reach the mountaintop, we must cross the unknown!
The Unknown usually involves Reluctance or Fear.
Conquer them & growth has taken place in your life!
Reluctance, because we sometimes desire the joy of the harvest without the labor involved.
Valleys are tough & dry, therefore we would rather spare ourselves the struggles of suffering through hard times, but still expect the joy of accomplishing our goals!
Fear, because we sometimes give in to our anxious thoughts when things don't happen as quickly as we expect them to.
Plains are straight & lengthy, therefore we sometimes lose focus of what's ahead of us due to the distance & then begin to doubt our path!
But today I am here to let you know that:
"IT IS WORTH IT!"
"DONT GIVE UP!"
"NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT!"
"NO MATTER HOW WEARISOME!"
"NO MATTER HOW FAR!"
"KEEP GOING!"
WHY?
"BECAUSE IT IS WORTH IT!"
"NOTHING GOOD EVER COME EASY!"
But don't take my word for it, Jesus said it best as He was hanging nailed to a cross!!!
"When Jesus had tasted it, He said, "It is finished!" Then He bowed His head and released His spirit."
"IN ORDER TO GROW, WE MUST BE STRETCHED!"
