Convicted

Conviction is your strong belief in what you are doing. It is the reason you are committed, the purpose behind your sacrifice.

Have you noticed when you have a dream in our heart, you start off strong. You head down the trail toward your goal, and you’re so excited! But along the way, you hit some roadblocks and encounter some adversity. Many times, people will just give up and take the easy way out. But you have to remember, it’s not how you start that counts; it’s how you finish. Anybody can be fired up at the beginning, but I’m encouraging you to stick with it until the end! Have the determination to go all the way through. Don’t stop at the halfway mark just because times are tough. Don’t quit because you don’t see anything happening. Today, if there’s a dream in your heart, something you’re believing for — a relationship to turn around, a business opportunity or to overcome an addiction — keep pursuing it! Run your race to win the prize! Don’t settle until you see the fullness of what God has placed in your heart. As you stand strong in your faith, I believe God will pour out His favor and blessing upon you, and you will see the victory He has in store for you! Are you standing strong in your conviction today?
