Remind your heart where it is heading and why God has you here.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and I constantly have to remind my heart where it’s heading; why God has me here; where it will all culminate. It’s like what Richard Baxter, a favorite Puritan, once wrote; he said, “Take your heart once again and lead it by the hand. Show it the kingdom of Christ and its glory. Say to your heart, ‘all this will your Lord bestow upon you. This is your inheritance. This crown is yours. These pleasures are yours. These beauties are yours. All things are yours, because you are Christ’s, and Christ is yours’… [So] Hold out a little longer, [dear heart], and bear with the infirmities of your earthly tabernacle for soon you shall rest from all your afflictions. [So] Be up in doing! Run, strive, fight, and hold on, for you have a glorious prize ahead.” Wow! And you know what? Those are really good words for your heart today.
