Endure to the end

It's easy to believe for blessings at the beginning when excitement is high and at the end when you can see the pieces all coming together, but what happens in the middle when you're in the midst of the work or struggle?  That's where some dreams die. When you start to bake a cake everyone is excited, and when it's almost done you can smell it, and once again belief that it will be delightful is strong, but what about when you have to go through the process of getting it together?  Collecting pans and ingredients takes a little time. Mixing the ingredients takes time, and then the baking time takes forever to the waiting participants. That's when some lose patience and attention starts to wander.  Sometimes God gives a dream, a vision, or a word and we're very excited in the beginning.  Toward the middle we start to wonder if it was real. Sometimes we allow ourselves to walk away from it. Our faith may wane.  Fight through the middle part. Stay in faith by reading scriptures out loud. Hang in until the end. It's worth it.  You can do it . Matthew 24:13 "but to those who endure to the end, they shall be saved."
