The Narrow Way

I’ve come too far to quit now.
I’ve cried too many prayers into my pillow.
I’ve walked through too many valleys.
I’ve broken generational chains.
I’ve said yes when it cost me.
I’ve been faithful when no one was watching.

And now…
I’m finishing strong.

Not because it’s been easy.
But because He’s been with me.

I didn’t get here by my own strength.
I didn’t survive on luck.
I didn’t endure because I knew the outcome.

I’m still here because God carried me.

And the same God who started this thing in me is the same God who’s going to finish it.

Philippians 1:6 says,
“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Completion.
That means God didn’t just call me to begin.
He called me to finish.

Because starting is exciting.
Starting is loud.
Starting is full of energy and applause.

But finishing?
That takes something deeper.

It takes commitment.
It takes consistency.
It takes grit and grace.

It takes showing up when you’re tired.
It takes staying the course when others walk away.
It takes trusting God even when the fruit doesn’t match the faith you planted.

But I’ve made up my mind, quitting is not an option.

Not because I’m trying to prove something…
But because I know what’s on the other side of this.
There’s legacy on the other side.
There’s freedom on the other side.
There’s people connected to my obedience.
There’s a generation watching how I finish this race.

So I’m not slowing down.
I’m not backing off.
I’m not folding under pressure.

I’m finishing with fire.

I’m pressing forward, eyes fixed on Jesus.
I’m walking in grace, clothed in strength, covered in glory.
I’m crossing this finish line knowing I gave heaven everything I had.

And when I get there, I don’t want to arrive with a whisper.
I want to arrive with a shout:
“It. Is. Done.”

I want to hear Him say,
“Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

So if you’re tired today,
If you’re tempted to give up,
If you’ve been wondering if it’s even worth it,

Let this be your reminder:
Yes, it is.
And no, you’re not finished.

The oil on your life is still flowing.
The fire in you is still burning.
The race isn’t over.

So take a deep breath.
Straighten your crown.
And keep moving forward.

You didn’t survive this much just to barely make it.

You were born to finish strong.
