Greetings and blessings to the whole church of the blockchain. Finishing the race with joy leads us to enjoy life in Christ. Being clear that we will be forever in the presence of God leads us to follow with joy the path of life that we have left on earth. God promised to fulfill his purpose in us and God will help us finish our career with joy. We must have great joy even in trials and difficulties, knowing that after so many afflictions and struggles, we will enter the kingdom of heaven.

Be clear, reader friend, that only the violent will snatch the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, what God has determined for you, you must fulfill it with joy and enjoy the career of your service to God, and strive for your career to end with abundant joy.

The apostle Paul wrote:

..... as long as I finish my career with joy ... (Acts 20:24).

Notice that Paul says: "While I finish my career with joy."
You must also say the same, you must finish the race with joy. Remember Paul's example in the prison of Philippi, they had certainly beaten him, he was suffering, with sufferings and sufferings, yet he was left with a song overflowing with joy for the Lord. Paul knew that God was with him and that it was the circumstance that God would allow him to live, Paul knew that he should keep his joy because something big was waiting for him at the end of his career.

Paul wanted to be everything God wanted him to be, and he wanted to do everything God wanted him to do, but he wanted to do it with joy.
This applies to you, dear reader, and it applies to me. Let us fulfill God's purpose for us, but let it be with joy, without considering the process by which God has to pass us.

We must learn to be happy with our progress, no matter how difficult the circumstances of the road are. We must not be depressed by all the challenging things we have to face, it is essential to know that God is with us, and this must be the fruit of joy in our lives to know that God fights our battles.

Every test we pass as painful as it could have been represents part of the progress of our joy in Christ Jesus.
Do not forget that our joy is not in our performance, but in Jesus Christ himself. Jesus came for us to learn to enjoy life and take it with joy, even above problems. He said: "I came to have life and have it in abundance." The life that Jesus refers to is a victorious life in Him that helps us overcome all crises and difficulties, and teaches us to continually enjoy.
