he perseveres

Studying Philippians 4:1.

I asked my husband why we need perseverance:

"Cause we need to make it to heaven. It's a fight to stand firm in the gospel. In suffering (like mine) it means fighting against self pity and the temptation that He doesn't care. But He is loving to me because He gave up his own life. I can persevere - giving up my life should be easy then."

Ian, loved hearing how God is encouraging you to keep on keeping on! That I may know Him & the power of His ressurection, and the fellowship of His sufferings being made conformable unto His death. ~Oh to be like Jesus♥
