Dear loving people,
How often do we start moving in
one direction, face opposition and then quit immediately? Just imagine for a
second that you had such a great idea, you had tremendous passion for it, but
once the real work came, you walked yourself out! It happens all the time to
even the strongest willed people. They give up just when the best things are
about to happen.
As far back as 118 BC, Polybius
(the Greek historian) was right when he said “Some men give up their designs
when they have almost reached the goal; while others, on the contrary, obtain a
victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than before.” Just
think back how often we kill the very bright dreams we ourselves conceived just
by quitting.
The
Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 assure us that no temptation including that of
quitting has overtaken you that is not common to man. But you must remember at
all times that God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your
ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that
you may be able to endure it.
Again
from 2 Corinthians 6:4–5,
we are cautioned not to give up even when the fragmenting effect
of multiple pressures seems relentless. But
as children of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in
afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors,
sleepless nights, hunger and hard work.
Bruno Mars in his
beautify song advices…
When you want to do something that’s new
And it seems really, really hard to do
You feel like quitting, you feel you're through
Well I have some advice for you
Don’t give up
Keep on trying
You’re gonna make it
I ain't lying
Don’t give up, don’t ever quit
Try and try and you can do it
Don’t give up, yeah
Don’t give up on the course you
have chosen because it is persistence that takes you to success. If Walt Disney
quit too soon after his theme park concept was trashed 302 times, there will be
no Disneyland Resort today.
Done give up on God because he has
not given up on you, Job in the Bible will not have gotten his life and wealth
back if he had given up on God in the middle of his complete desolation.
At all times, keep the
relationship between Choices, Chances and Changes because
you
must make a choice to take a chance or your life will never change. One
thing is for sure, if you give up too soon, you will never know what you’ll be
missing.
Keep going and NEVER Give-up
