Don't miss the victory.You work for years and years to overcome a mind pattern--or help someone to break his or hers--and one day you cross the finish line of overcoming but your heart is too weary to see it.
The finish line is clouded by tears of effort, of exhaustion, of almost giving up.
I imagine the tears of heartbreak have to all be released so that God can do whatever He does with our tears that He tenderly promises to watch over.
When the victory comes--when the mind pattern no longer has you in its grip--take a little time to rejoice.
Be thankful.
It is no small thing to have overcome a mind pattern that has held you hostage for years.
In the movie, A Little Bit of Heaven, Kate Hudson's character is biting and mean and so hard to understand. But, in the end, you see how her mistaken thinking--her mind pattern--had its fiery grip on her for her entire life. She found victory, but hers came only in death.
If ours comes in life, with more life to come, thank God and...don't miss it.
