"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." Thomas Edison
Maybe today, you have been working at something, or working toward something for a very long time. You feel like you have seen a little bit of progress but, by now, you should have seen the result. Maybe you are just ready to give up. To quit and stop putting yourself through all of this work that seems to be for nothing. If this is you, let me encourage you today not to give up, because that next try, that next step that you make, could lead you to where you have been waiting to go.
But what if it doesn't? What if I just have to keep trying and trying, and what if I never get there? My friend, listen; you may be the one doing the work, and you may think that you are the only one trying to bring yourself to that certain point ahead of you, but that is far from true. For even though you are doing to work here on earth, God is working His powers as well. He is up in heaven, showing you that you need to just go that much longer until you reach it. He can see the destination, and He wants you to get there. He does not want you to give up on the amazing plans that He has for you.
But why wouldn't He already have given it to us? Why is He making us go so long without any result? Well, you see, as He is up there, controlling this journey that He has you on, the only reason that He has not given it to you yet is because He knows that you aren't ready. He knows that, still ahead of you, there is a perfect time where He will grant you with whatever it is you have been working so hard for, and when He does, it is going to be more spectacular than you ever could have imagined; all because His timing is perfect. All because you waited, and that you didn't give up.
