Persevere
Webster's Definition: to persist in a state, enterprise, or undertaking in spite of counterinfluences, opposition, or discouragement.
Ahh, Romans 5!
1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
How I would love to continue on in this chapter because it is so rich with gospel truths!
Yesterday I was encouraged to persevere through school (only 3 semesters left!) If you are currently in school and feeling down, stick with it! The payoff is worth it, just ask any adult who either did not finish school or never started. I was also reminded that there is a prize to those who finish...a diploma. I know, I know - a diploma doesn't sound all that great right now, but think about the opportunities having a diploma opens up for you! Work hard today and you will be rewarded later!
