Finish What You Started

So here’s what I think: The best thing you can do right now is to finish what you started last year and not let those good intentions grow stale. Your heart’s been in the right place all along. You’ve got what it takes to finish it up, so go to it. Once the commitment is clear, you do what you can, not what you can’t. The heart regulates the hands. This isn’t so others can take it easy while you sweat it out. No, you’re shoulder to shoulder with them all the way, your surplus matching their deficit, their surplus matching your deficit. In the end you come out even. — 2 Corinthians 8:21 The Message


It's not always easy to finish what we've started.

But in Paul's letter he is encouraging us to do that so our intentions don't grow stale.

And he even encourages us and reminds us that we have what it takes.

God wants us to work shoulder to shoulder with others.

In that way we compliment each other.

My strengths match up with your weaknesses and your strengths cover mine.
