Endurance

Precious One,

Don’t give up, but stand firm. I have given you the strength to endure hard times and come through victoriously. Your triumphs don’t depend on you alone. Lean on me and I will help you reach your goal. Your life is in the palm of My hand, and your future is secure with Me. I want to see your dreams realized because I gave many of them to you. Let Me fill you with my Spirit of endurance, for I finished My course, and you will finish Yours also.

-Jesus
