An Enduring Spirit

     Have you ever had those moments in life where you just wanted to say 'enough' and give up?  Perhaps it is a variety of factors that contribute to such a feeling or even just one.  But, most of us can relate to feeling this way.  Yes, such feelings do occur in the Christian life.

  Have you ever watched a good coach at work with his athletes?  They try to accomplish all that they are called upon to do.  But, they feel wiped out and want to cease their training.  This is when the coach steps in and begins motivating them to continue with courage and in a big way.

  Well, we have a coach.  The Lord is right there ready to encourage us and motivate us to victory.  He gives us the power to take more steps and to do so in the greatest way.  When those points come where we feel low, he is there to carry us to the next point.

  All that we have to do is give our heart and life to him and pledge to serve him.  He will dry every tear and enforce who he wants us to be.  But, we must keep some things in mind.  We must make every effort not to let other things burden our life.  This means not getting offended at things.  This can be difficult.  But, he will be there to help you and teach you.

  Secondly, you must believe in yourself and know, that with God's help, you can do any thing.  Have confidence in the beautiful person that he sees within you.

  Pray this prayer.  "Lord, I desire to live for you and serve you all the  days of my life.  I desire to be everything that you want me to be.  Please always be by my side and give me the inspiration."  

  Don't ever give up!  Be excited about all of the wonderful things that the Lord has for you!  *******************************************

God bless you all!
