ever heard of this joke? (:

a man was stranded on an island.the island he was on had no food and water, and thus he would not be able to survive. suddenly, he saw another island opposite him. that island had food and water, and everything he needed for survival! :D the man had to swim to get there. halfway through swimming, he got tired and decided to give up;& not go to the island that had food anymore. so, he swam back to the island that he came from.

i seriously hope you get the joke. lol.
but anyway, you may find that joke a bit ridiculous, but actually in this race, isnt it the same?
we work so hard to reach the place God promised us. but halfway through, sometimes we just get tired, and decide to give up. when we do so, arent we back to square one?

come on people, jiayoujiayou!
you aren't in this race alone.
i read NEHEMIAH 4 today. go read! meditate on the verse , dont just read it mechanically.
if you find that you're scared about outreaching, that chapter is for you.
if you are scared, that chapter is for you.
if you feel inadequate about the fact that others are outreaching in faith while you are outreaching in fear, nehemiah 4 is for you.



God promises that he'll always be there.
Jeremiah 29:11
Matthew 28:19-20
Hebrews 13:5

and the list goes on.



Don't Be Afraid, Don't be Afraid, Don't be Afraid.
