2 Consider it all
joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing
of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result,
so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Summary
Perseverance is one of those golden nuggets that we use but
do not recognize. Perseverance happens
while you are in the middle of a crisis, when you have reached a depressed
state or when the unexpected has happened to you. The hard events of life and we make the choice
to endure and continue to follow the course despite the momentary pain we are
going through. Perseverance is a state
of mind that brings us to a state of mind that we will not quit, will not give
up, we will keep on, keeping on!
