Everyone needs encouragement some days, and most need encouragement every day. This life is hard and we fight the battle every day against our spiritual enemies and those who oppose us here on earth. When I had my stroke, my cheerleaders were my husband and my daughter. They kept telling me that I could do it, even when I was too weary to take the next step. And I knew God was right there with me because, after all, He revived me from the stroke to begin with and set me on that road to recovery. I am not currently suffering from the effects of a stroke, but I am still battling every day, against sin and its consequences and against the enemy of our souls who wants me to give up, surrender to him and be done with it all. You are battling, too, and the same Lord who fought for me is fighting on your side. Not only that, but there is a crowd in Heaven cheering us on. We don’t give up, we don’t give in, we keep fighting for right because the end result is going to be amazing and beyond belief. We will get to join our cheering squad in Heaven…what a glorious day that will be!
Your post brings to mind Hebrews 12:1: Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
