Where do I find the strength to keep going when I’m tempted to give up? - Perseverance - TouchPoints

Luke 9:62Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.”

2 Timothy 2:3Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

1 Peter 2:20Of course, you get no credit for being patient if you are beaten for doing wrong. But if you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, God is pleased with you.

Your outlook on life determines how you see your problems. If you see them only as nuisances, you will develop an attitude of bitterness, cynicism, and hopelessness that will make you want to give up. If you see your problems as an opportunity for strengthening your character and convictions, you will be able to rise above them and persevere to see the good things God has in store for you. Endurance is a sign that your faith is growing strong.
