Finishing the Job

The simple satisfaction of

The job that’s been well done;

The quiet little moment when

You finish what’s begun;

The point at which you realize

That you just saw it through

And finished even that small task

That you needed to do.

For sometimes small tasks simply done

Set patterns into place

That we can use when times get tough

To run the bigger race.

Acts 20:24

²⁴ However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.
