I thought this article from Jon Gordon’s weekly newsletter would encourage you as it did me.
THE FIGHT
Everything seems to be a fight these days.
Not the ones you see on the news or the political fights happening daily.
But the fight to be your best and overcome the resistance and forces that keep you from it.
…the fight to lose weight when every shop has croissants and donuts in the window and they actually call your name.
…the fight to get in the gym and work out when you feel tired or sore.
…the fight to keep your kids on the right track.
…the fight for your marriage and family when so many forces in the world try to sabotage you.
…the fight to stay positive in the face of so much pessimism and negativity.
…the fight to overcome all the challenges and change at your job and the world.
Nothing comes easy.
If it did, I suppose we wouldn't appreciate it. It's also the way the world works. The struggle is part of the journey and story. The fight is part of the battle and the victory.
The beautiful thing about life is that we get to choose what we will fight for.
You can fight for anything so the big question is what will you fight for?
To answer this, you need to answer one more question.
Is it worth it?
If it's worth it, you will fight for it.
If it's worth it, you won't give up when it gets hard.
If it's worth it, it's worth your time, commitment, energy, sacrifice, and focus.
If it's worth it, then it's worth fighting the good fight.
Sure, there will be battles that make you afraid. There will be times when you fail. There will be days you get knocked down. There will be moments when you want to give up.
During your darkest of times always remember that stars shine the brightest in the darkness.
Your greatest victory will come after your toughest battle.
Love drives grit and casts out fear.
If you love it, you will fight for it and overcome your fear in doing so.
Your vision and purpose are greater than your challenges.
Failure is temporary.
The character and strength you develop fighting the good fight are what endures.
So, keep fighting, become all you are meant to be in the process, and don't give up!
It's worth it and so are you!

Good morning.
Our loving Father in heaven does not leave us without hope, especially in troubled & distressing times. It is exactly in those times that He reveals Himself to us as Jehovah, our hope. Let Him show Himself to you today as the hope you need.
Shalom
Manna and Coffee
The seed of “Good Morning Cafe” was planted in May, 2017.
A former student of mine was preparing for surgery to remove a brain tumor. She created a FB support group to walk this journey with her.
As I viewed my invitation, God challenged me to not only support her with prayer but with a short (400 words) daily word of hope and faith for the difficult journey ahead.
