Stickin' With It

Verse of the Day:
2 Timothy 4:2


...be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable...


I have a friend who is very passionate about acting and theater. She has worked so hard on stage and off stage. She has auditioned for many plays and has signed up for voice lessons to help her singing. She is in an acting mentorship with school. She helps out backstage for plays. She is so dedicated to the theater program and becoming an actress.

Despite this, she never gets the part she wants in the plays. She shoots big (like actors should ;)) but never seems to get the parts she wants. Most people, after not receiving the part they want, give up all together. This friend, however, has done the opposite. Sure, after she gets the disappointing part she is a little upset, but her optimistic attitude makes her really unique. She keeps going and practicing, even when the odds are against her.

This friend is a great example of how persistent we should be with our relationship with Christ. Sometimes the conditions are not ideal and we get tired of keeping our faith up. We need to remember to be persistent in strengthening our relationship with God, even when times are not so favorable.

The Simple Truth: Being persistent is important when it comes to strengthening our relationship with God.

Pray:

Lord, sometimes it is hard for me to be persistent in maintaining a good relationship with You. Help me to stay  strong, even when I don't feel like it or when times are tough.

Let your light shine.
