Persevere

As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking of the word PERSEVERE.  There is a difference between perseverance and endurance. Perseverance consists of having absolute trust in what is going to happen. To PERSEVERE through any hardship is built on trust that there is nothing to fear.  

Jesus stood for love, peace, justice, forgiveness, and mercy.  To PERSEVERE means that we believe in all of this and that we will not be let down because Jesus is always at our side. 

There may be moments in our life we experience disappointment, challenges, and even suffering, but through it all we remain faithful to God’s promises.  We want to be like Saint Timothy, who said, “I fought the good fight.  I finished the race.  I kept the faith!” 

Today, PERSEVERE with joy and peace.  Be a true witness that Jesus is the Lord of your life! 

Have a blessed day!
