One of the many things that my Dad instilled in me was not to be a quitter.  Sometimes, that’s easier said than done, especially in very difficult…downright tough and nasty…real life situations.  But…more than our earthly fathers…our Heavenly Father wants us to persevere…to never say, “Die”…to never give up and quit.  He’s so passionate about our perseverance He will reward those who do so for His sake. So…persevere!

James 1:23 (NLT)

God blesses those who persevere…who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

Hebrews 10:36 (NLT)

Patient perseverance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that He has promised.

“If you’re running a 26-mile marathon, remember that every mile is run one step at a time. If you are writing a book, do it one page at a time. If you’re trying to master a new language, try it one word at a time. There are 365 days in the average year. Divide any project by 365 and you’ll find that no job is all that intimidating.” ~ Charles Swindoll

The Lord bless you and keep you…
