... we pray on. And press on.
... we endure.
... we make sacrifices.
... we choose to forgive.
... we overlook past offenses and hurts.
... we take the best blows of the evil one, shake them off and move on in love.
... we try our best to still see the good in others, regardless.
... we refuse to give up on a person, no matter how unruly, insincere or untrustworthy he or she has been in the past, many times over.
... we call upon the Holy Spirit and ask for His sustaining grace and enablement when the battle gets too tough and our vision gets too clouded.
... we unite in purpose, prayer and passion to see His Kingdom come, His will be done and his Name alone be glorified.
... we stand steadfast upon His Word, banking on His Promises.
... we humble ourselves and let others have their way - for the greater good.
... we remember that "it" isn't just about us, but about many others.
... we understand that nothing we do in faith is futile or lost. For what we sow, we shall reap.
... we refuse to stand in judgment of others. Or give up on them just yet.
... we continue to Hope.
... we continue to trust and obey.
And believe.
That, when everything is said and done, God shall have His Way.
That, regardless of what may have transpired in the past, we shall see that nothing was without a purpose or plan.
That everything was worth it.
That God is truly Sovereign Lord above all things, times, places, people and circumstances.
That the Best is yet to come!

"Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."
~ 1 Cor. 15:58
