Words are powerful! Over the years I’ve been blessed and encouraged by many poems, songs, etc. I wish people today would spend more time reading things that are helpful. Too often folks get discouraged and quit, not because of the severity of their problem, but because they take no steps to help themselves. Please, take time to encourage yourself by reading good literature. It cannot take the place of the Bible, but can be the next best thing.
These simple words of Winston Churchhill inspired a nation and millions since: “Never give up!” If the truth were known something inspired him. Who knows it might have been this little poem by an unknown writer that I have kept pasted in my Bible for many years. You’ve probably heard it, but it might be helpful to read it again:
Don’t Quit
| When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit Rest if you must, but don’t you quit. Life is queer with its twists and its turns, Often the goal is nearer than, Success is failure turned inside out |
My dear friend, that’s good advice. Regardless of the nature of your problem, the power of your enemy, the odds against you, the obstacles before you, the failures behind you, the injustices toward you, or the pain within you –Don’t quit!
