Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. 1 Corinthians 9:24

 

Have you ever gave up on something, or someone? Quitting has become quite common these days; when things don’t go the way we like or feeling uncomfortable, the choice to quit removes you from that situation, but at what cost?

 

We are all running this race called life. Whether you realize it or not, people depend on you to keep up the pace, stay committed to your obligations, so you can finish the race well. Yes, times wont be easy, and it might cost you financially and emotionally, but that’s part of life. When you vacate your position on the track, you leave a void that no one can replace, and the guilt of quitting will eventually catch up to you.

 

But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded. 2 Chronicles 15:7

 

Maybe you are on your way out of a relationship or some obligation. Take time to really think over what you’ll gain by this short-term decision and the long-term effects it will cause for others. God never said life would be easy, but that He would go with you and help you in the tough times.

 

He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6.
