I read a blog the other day from my good friend John McHoul, a missionary in Haiti. He said: “I don’t feel I started well, but I want to finish well.” Sometimes we are like the twins, twin B at a definite disadvantage, significantly smaller and weaker than his brother. Some of us are born twin A, we have the edge. Whatever the gifts we have or don’t have, how we end is what really matters. Some of us seem born to struggle, fight harder and work with things against us to win. Others breeze on through, or like most of us, we are somewhere in the middle. So, where are you at in your walk of life? Are you like twin A? Or are you like twin B? Do you seemingly have it made? Are things easy for you? Do you sometimes look down your nose at twin B who seems to struggle in everything they try to do? Maybe you wish you were like twin A? Or are you neither of these twins? In the middlle maybe? So here I sit – observing a “well done my good and faithful servant” ending and a struggling beginning of twins. And what is the lesson for those of us walking in the middle of these two ends – run well with our eyes on the prize.
“I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
End well. Steve
