Press In

This is something that God spoke to me in the House of Prayer one Wednesday night. It is something I know that was spoken to me, but also to many others who are feeling the same way as I was and still am. I know the way is hard, but I also know that the reward for those who push through is great!

PRESS IN
During the times you feel tired,
During the times you feel faint,
When you want to stop and rest,
This is when I am calling you.
I am calling you to press in.
I am calling you to run harder.
This is not a time for giving up.
This is not the time to abandon the call.
Press in! Press in!
This is the time to get ready,
For the time of my coming is soon.
I am calling my warrior bride
To run after me and not give up.
The way is hard.
The road is long.
The journey is perilous.
But I have seen the yes in your heart �
My love will sustain you!
Just press in � press in to me.
For in the end, you will come forth shining as gold!

Phil 3:12-14
I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward – to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back. � The Message
