An ant works extremely hard, very industrious, patient, feeds and protects its family. An ant can be able to carry a leaf or a crumb for miles no matter what just to get back home to anthill....this creature has the characteristic of PERSEVERANCE!
Dictionary defines perseverance as a steadfast persistence of a cause, action or a belief for a purpose....... For me, Perseverance is an amazing quality. It is a commitment, hard work, patience, endurance. It is being able to bear difficulties calmly and without complaint. It is a day-by-day decision not to give up. And eventually, it is what drive us to the end.
I believe that perseverance embraces discipline to actually know where we want to go. When we persevere it shows our fatihfulness and consistency....when we persevere, we must be strong and choose to win as it is not about today but it is about the journey of life.....
We live in a world of people who “don’t get it.” They don’t understand that while we strive to be the best at what we do, the most important thing in life is to please God rather than to please ourselves..... It is for GOD’s GLORY that we persevere…..It is for God’s glory too that we diligently send kids to school, do our daily chores, we toil, we work 8 hrs a day, run errands, keep our family safe and our home in order, and at the end of the day, it’s not about the moment but about eternity......
Thank God that I stand on the promises and the word of God for He helps us when we have a situation in our lives-- strength to strength. He is always there to help us not to give up until we finish the race!
