ADD TO YOUR FAITH PERSISTENCE


'And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and virtue knowledge, and knowledge temperance; and to patience godliness;...' 2Peter 1:5-6

There is no great achievement that does not require time and persistence. Too many get hold of opportunity but let go of it too soon. Don B. Owen Jr said it well: Many people fail in life because they believe the adage that if you don't succeed, try something else. But success is not attained for those who follow such advice. You will be justified by what you finish not what you start. Impatience is costly. Most people fail simply because they can't see the end from the beginning. The beginning is always rough but the end is glorious. Paul writes 'For our light affliction, which is but a moment, worketh for us as far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory (2Corinthians 4:17)

The dreams that came true did so because people stuck to their ambitions. They refused to be discouraged, they never let disappointment get the upper hand. Challenges only spurred them on to greater efforts.

VALUE FOR TIME

To everything, there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1) Our entire life is measured by time. Your success and achievement are directly proportional to the time invested therein. To the one that is a medical doctor, for instance, it means that he has invested 5 or 6 years of his time in learning and acquiring knowledge to practice as a medical doctor. It, therefore, means that he traded time for the skill. We have a period here on earth to fulfill our purpose. It would be suicidal to attempt to waste it for we have but one life.  Helpful Topic: Motivational Quotes For Women.
