Maggie remember—
You cannot change what you choose to do, as Esau regretted losing his inheritance for the immediate. You must keep your eyes on the eternal reward. Persevere on the course before you- this is real life. The pain you endure is meant to strengthen and discipline you, the JOY you share is meant to uplift others, and the LOVE you feel is meant for your brothers and sisters.
Do not trade the eternal greatness of having and pursuing a pure heart because these days are hard, and the hours feel long. Be encouraged that He who has set your path has set a table for you amidst your enemies and will eat with you. He is with you, running with you.
No day is unknown, and no worry is unseen by the Lord. He is the comforter- your comforter. Keep your eyes on the Lord and He will guide your steps. Love your brothers and sisters. Live out and hold to integrity. Give grace to others and yourself – 70×7 times. Encourage the pursuit of righteousness. Aid your brothers and sisters and find rest in the Almighty.
Hebrews 11:27
“He persevered because he saw Him who is invisible.”
