Have you ever felt like giving up, but you knew that you needed to persevere. I’m sharing this poem “Perseverance” with you; to encourage you to NOT GIVE UP!
Perseverance
Perseverance is the Key as your waiting for your breakthrough; Pushing forward even when everything tells you, that you DON’T want to.
Never giving up nor giving in; because where the end of your perseverance is; is also where your faith ends.
Perseverance and patience go hand in hand; pushing forward puts’ faith in command.
To those who thought that they would never see breakthrough; THAT is the very moment, when it is about to overtake you.
Perseverance means pushing forward and following through with what needs to be done.
Not listening to situations nor circumstances telling you; that it won’t happen for you, or it’s impossible to overcome.
Perseverance is pushing through; and not letting your emotions get the best of you.
Because, Faith sees past failures, your own weaknesses, and mistakes; believes God and His Word above all and simply trusts in His Love and His amazing grace.
For those things you though would be the things to hold you back; Like your feelings of insecurities, inadequacies, and /or of not being qualified, and even lack.
Those are the very things that God is using to mold and shape you; to suit His purpose and what’s perfect in His eyes; For haven’t you read that He uses the foolish things of this world, to confound the wise.
For each of us has a destiny, a purpose and a call; pressing in and pushing through, allows Him to reveal to you; the test, trials and pressures in your life, was worth it ALL.
To those who will not give up, the prize is worth fighting for;
To those who fought hard, continue standing; in faith, believing even more.
To those who have cried much tears; dry your eyes; for your redemption draweth near.
Persevere and don’t let go of His promises; Claim them, for they are precious, and their value is real.
Perseverance is important, and the price is high; for in IT nations are turned, and salvation’s are its’ prize.
Look at Noah and what he had to go through…do you think that it was but a short time that that ark was built, and pitch was placed within its’ walls.
It took him years toiling each day; following through with what I had told him; and I watched as he plowed away.
What would have happened if he had given up, not knowing that it was only he and those closest to him who would be saved and closed in.
What about Moses…what a following he had; they weren’t just a people, but a nation chosen to be.
What if he had given up when I was wroth with them; because of their rebellion, disobedience, and many grumblings.
Instead, he stood in for them and interceded on their behalf; when I was about to wipe them out and start over with just Moses; even if he was all I had.
And what about (Me) Jesus…Not ever having done any wrong, nor in Me any sin was found; for no test, trial, nor temptation, did I ever succumb to, become entangled in; nor become bound.
What if I had given up that day; I could have stopped it all and called on My Father and never would have had to suffer on that cross, nor any price to pay.
Perseverance is remaining strong; even when things look bleak; and you feel like you’re being dragged along.
Never letting those things get the best of you; knowing that there will be things that will come; to try, tempt, and even test you.
Those test, trials and temptations that you face; are there to determine who you are, and how much you’re willing to stay in the race.
However, If you will persevere and pass those tests; you will realize that your faith is much stronger and becoming even stronger yet.
So don’t give up, continue pressing on to see it through; for by running your race doing all you know to do; know for a surety that breakthrough WILL soon overtake you.
For when we allow faith and patience to run its course, using PERSEVERANCE as the Key; it is through this you will be blessed, increased, and promotion is promised to manifest MIGHTILY. ©2016 Carol Helmick. All Rights Reserved.
