Following Jesus is about becoming a whole person.

One of the most powerful ways we can shape our thoughts, beliefs, and actions is by memorizing Scripture.

The essential thing “in heaven and earth” is . . . that there should be long obedience in the same direction; there thereby results, and has always resulted in the long run, something which has made life worth living. Friedrich Nietzsche

For perseverance is not resignation, putting up with things the way they are, staying in the same old rut year after year, or being a doormat for people to wipe their feet on. Endurance is not a desperate hanging on but a traveling from strength to strength.
Eugene Peterson

Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains.
CS Lewis

God doesn’t cause our pain but can leverage it to grow us.

Three ideas to help you add perseverance:
• Accept your lack of control
• Activate your faith
• Aim for Jesus
