Have you become discouraged? Have you allowed something to keep you from being what you know you should be? Have you allowed depression or disaster to make you lose heart & to slacken your effort?
If so, remember the Word of the Lord: “Continue strong in
your faith so no one will take away your crown." (Rev 3:11).
Be diligent; in season and out of season. Be faithful in the
face of storm, as well as in times of sunshine, for if there is no battle,
there will be no victory; no cross, no crown.
- Henry J. Westermeyer (moreillustrations.com)
Js 1:12 (CEV): “God will bless you, if you don’t give up
when your faith is being tested. He will reward you with a glorious life, just
as he rewards everyone who loves him.”
“Greatness in the kingdom of God is measured in terms of our
obedience here.” - John Stott.
