NOW IS NOT THE TIME ...

I know you’re tired, but don’t give up.

I know you’ve been disappointed, you’ve had some folk let you down, but don’t quit.

I know things haven’t worked out the way you planned, the way you’ve wanted and you wonder what happened? How did I get here? How did they get here with me? Keep going.

Maybe you should have turned right, but you insisted on going left, but don’t stall out. You can make a u-turn or take a detour, just keep it moving. ‘Keep on truckin’.

Now, is not the time ... to stay down or lie down, simply because you fell down. Please, get back up.

Don’t become weary and throw in the towel. This too shall pass. Whatever the affliction you’re dealing with may be, it did not come to stay because troubles don’t last always.

Every day you go through puts you closer to your coming out. You’re closer than you think.

Don’t become weary in well-doing. If you do not faint, you will reap a reward. It may mean lightening your load, laying aside some weights that are besettting you, slowing you down, weighing you down. Disconnect from whatever is draining you, robbing you of your zeal, your joy and your desire.

I know, it wasn’t fair. It wasn’t even your fault. Yet you are the one suffering while the one who wronged you has moved on to the next victim. Make up your mind to 'let it go', even though you may feel cheated.

When you have done all that you can do, and still it’s not enough; when it’s taking an extra long time to see the promise come to fruition - you can’t see any hint of the manifestation in your life, but you are seeing everybody else being blessed.

Learn (from this) to trust anyhow and not question God.

Your development time is not your neighbor’s time; your processing cycle is not the same as anyone else’s. Believe this though, He who has begun a good work in you is able to complete it. He’s able to make you smile again. He is able to make you feel again.

You have come too far to turn around.

Now is not the time to get discouraged.

Now is not the time to get distracted.

Now is not the time to turn back.

Not is not the time to change courses.

Now is not the time to be deterred.

Now is not the time to sit down.

Now is not the time to give up the fight.

Keep the faith and hang in there. Run until you reach the finish line. Go on to see what the end is going to be.

For when you have been tried by the fire, it will not consume you, but it will burn off the dross, all the unnecessary parts and it will purify you and process you and you shall come out pure as gold.

Now, is not the time to doubt. Keep going. Finish the course.
