Do you ever want to give up?


“If Columbus had turned back during the hazardous journey to the new world, no one would have blamed him.  HOWEVER, NO ONE WOULD HAVE REMEMBERED HIM.”

So if you give up trying to make your family…your work…your community…or your school better…perhaps no one can blame you because the odds are apparently so great.  But then, no one is going to be inspired or lifted because of you.

The difference that you can make in times of stress is in direct proportion to your trust in the resources that God has placed before you.

The biblical promise to Christians in the first century applies to us, if we follow their example of faith and obedience:  “What shall we say to this? (the times of stress) If God be for us, who is against us?  …No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”  Romans 8:31, 37
