Please Don’t Read This Post … if you are never tempted to give up

“Tenacity is more than endurance, it is endurance combined with the absolute certainty that what we are looking for is going to transpire. Tenacity is more than hanging on … Tenacity is the supreme effort of a man refusing to believe that his hero is going to be conquered. The greatest fear a man has is not that he will be damned, but that Jesus Christ will be defeated, that the things He stood for – love and justice and forgiveness and kindness among men – will not win out in the end …

Then comes the call to spiritual tenacity, not to hang on and do nothing, but to work deliberately on the CERTAINTY that God is NEVER going to be defeated … … If our hopes are being disappointed just now, it means that they are being purified … One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God” Oswald Chambers Feb 22

Be still, and know that I am God. — Psalm 46:10

This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope.
The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,
For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness. — Lamentations 3:21-23

I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord. — Psalm 27:13-14
