For a friend who is struggling

What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.

Victor Frankl


John 6:29 Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

Col 1:25 I have become its servant by the commission God gave
me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— 26the mystery that has
been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints.
27To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of
this mystery, which is
Christ in you, the hope of
glory
. 28We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all
wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. 29To this end I
labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in
me.


Its not about the shoes.
Its knowing where youre going,
not forgetting where you started.
...
Its about having the courage to fail.
Not breaking when you are broken,
taking what you are given, and making something better.
...
Its about work before glory,
and whats inside of you.
Its doing what they say you cant.
Its not about the shoes, its what you do in them.
....
Its about being who you were born to be.
