finish what you start

Last night I decided to get some much needed exercise, so I went walking with one of my best friends. After about 2 laps around the track I was already exhausted and had to slow down a notch, by the 3 lap I was ready to quit, so my friend said sit down for a minute and relax and I will come back for you on the next lap, so I stretched my legs a little to get the cramps out, and by the time he came back for me, I was ready to go. Well, I did my fourth lap and I thought okay this is the last one for me and I am quitting, so he said come on just one more, I said I can't, then I said okay one more, and before you know it I had walked 7 laps around the track, I was so proud of myself because I had finished what I started. That is how the Christian walk is, sometimes you get tired and just want to give up, but if you finish the race and never give up, the reward that God has for you is unimaginable. As the saying goes, " when you get tired of standing, that is the best time to start kneeling, in prayer." Always finish what you start, the reward is great.
