About persevering…

2 Thessalonians 3:5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance. (NIV)

Many days in our life are not easy. Our teenage years are often filled with the uncertainty, doubt, and anxiety of growing up. Our senior years are often filled with the uncertainty, doubt, and anxiety of what lies ahead of us as we near the end of our life. The years in between are often filled with the stresses and strains of trying to raise a family, build a career, and build enduring relationships. Every stage of life carries the risk of trauma and loss. Every week we seem to face a new challenge of some kind. In this life, in this world, we need a spirit to perseveres. We must not let setbacks, failures, losses, pain, and suffering turn us away from our God. The aim of the force of darkness is to blind you and make you believe God is not listening. The force of darkness wants you to believe God does not care about you. The wonderful truth is God is listening to you and to your heart. God is tuned into every thought you think. God knows more about your tough days than you do. God blesses your perseverance. God is with you as you struggle. God is with you as you weep. He never leaves you alone. He is always ready to minister to every hurt and need. Because God is so willing to be there for you, you must persevere and be there for Him as one of His sons or daughters.
