There is laid up for me a crown of righteousness

7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
I think it would be amazing to be able to say I have fought a good fight, finished my course, and kept the faith. It is so important we endure to the end. I love how this scripture also includes the reward we will receive if we endure to the end. I love the imagery of a crown of righteousness being laid up for us.
I love how at the end of verse 8 he includes we can all have this promise.

This is something that really inspires me especially as finals get near. On a smaller scale, it reminds me of our eternal progression and the importance of continuing to press forward. Thank you for your comment!
