Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. Phil 1:6 (NKJV)
‘Quitting’ seems to have exit ramps every 500 metres on the highway of life. It’s like there’s always an opportunity to give up and throw in the towel… as if that would be the easiest option. In fact, most give up because it seems like the easiest option…
They pull off the road and park. Often without their hazard signals on and unaware of how close they are to reaching their destination.
“Nothing to see here” they say trying desperately not to draw any attention to the fact that they aren’t going anywhere.
The engine is still running and the vehicle still has potential but the will to drive on has ended.
Hope is lost.
The night has set in and cold descends.
But something in the rearview mirror catches the eye.
Lights flicker in the distant dark and as a vehicle gets closer,it appears it has come to rescue.
“Need a jump start?” the stranger asks warmly through the window, before his vehicle even comes to a halt.
“Nah I’m just taking a rest” the reply shoots back between the cars.
Dull moonlight bounces off the bonnet of the cars and the sound of crickets in the distance can just be heard through the low rumble of the idling engines.
“Well, it’s getting cold and dark so why don’t you follow me?” the rescuer asks without even acknowledging the tinges of shame in the worn out traveller’s voice.
“OK…” the words sheepishly roll into the dark.
Both cars fire into motion and the glimmering warmth of hope once again fills the air.
The destination is still ahead and the journey is not over.
Possibility is renewed and potential engaged.
There is someone willing to help… willing to guide and direct the way.
It’s not over.
And what was started will be finished.
In Him.
Please… don’t park!
Don’t give up.
