2 Timothy 4:7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
This is the season of funerals, it seems. The past weeks, there have been many who have passed away. Incidentally, I've been reading the obituary section as of last year because of age. Often I glimpse upon an acquaintances whose loved one passed away.
In many Christian obituaries, I see the quote above and just today as I chanced upon the quote in a young entrepreneur woman's obituary, I asked myself what was the good fight or race that she had?
Someday our life will expire, and while we don't know the exact date and time, I really wonder if many of us will be found faithful to know what we are called for and to endure in the fight of faith. How easy it is to be tired, exhausted or simply exasperated by what life throws at us. Meanwhile, a good reminder to be fighting and not slacking, so that this sentence will be true of our lives should the day it needs to be printed on our own obituary.
M.
