FATHER, it’s painful, it’s difficult, and I’m tired FATHER! I never knew that it would be this tough, I never knew I would go through all of this, I never knew I would not feel YOUR presence here with me, I never knew I would feel forsaken. But despite all that I am feeling I’ll Stay (The Course)! This is the conversation that I imagined might have happened as I read of JESUS’ crucifixion. As I try to picture HIM hanging on the cross, giving HIS life up for you and me. All of this after a severe beating, with blood pouring from HIS wounds and pain flowing through HIS Body, He endured it all and said I’ll Stay, not words from HIS mouth but by HIS actions. Do you know JESUS with all his deity, divinity and power could have summoned a legion of angels to assist if HE so desired. Mt 26:53. But we see JESUS freely accept HIS assignment for the greater good of others at the expense or sacrifice of HIMSELF.
So, wherever GOD has you at this present time, whatever GOD has you doing at this moment, whatever assignment HE has bestowed on you, and it doesn’t feel good, it’s difficult, you feel alone, GOD doesn’t seem to be with you anymore. Allow me to say this to you, you can do it, you can achieve it, you can make it, you can overcome it, you can have the victory over it, you can get through it, to it whatever GOD has for you. All you must do is stay the course, don’t give up or give in. You already have the victory in CHRIST JESUS and like CHRIST JESUS. If you will let GOD know I’ll Stay The Course! If you take one step to understand and be assured, HE will help you with the rest. Stay the Course you got it.
