Yesterday I was reading 2 Timothy 4 :6-8 where its says.. . For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand . 7 I have fought a good fight ,I have finished my course ,I have kept the faith: 8  Henceforth there is laid up for me  a crown of righteousness, which the Lord ,the  righteous judge , shall give me at that day :and not to me only , but unto all them also that love  his appearing.


I would very much love to say those very words that Paul mentioned ... but he paid a price also for it . But we all should strive for this. That we will not being ashamed when we stand before Christ Jesus . We must believe in GOD works and keep his WORD and obedient to him. Our goal should be to finished the course that GOD has set before us.   Philippians  4:13  ... I can do all things through CHRIST which strengtheneth me.

I believe one of the main things we must have to keep doing the assignment given us by God is faithfulness to God.
Many are "faithful" as long as some human compliments them.  But what happens when we do what God says to so and humans hate and despise us?  Do we compromise the word of God in order to please man and to have friendship with man?  Or do we continue in that which God has shown us because we do not want to disappoint God.  Faithfulness to God is key.
