Must hand it over to his determination, a lesson for all us to learn, often we give up trying on many issues, but with Jesus everything is possible, never give up trying.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4447925.stm
Many Christians wether in their ministry or something may be trying for something, but the results don’t come fast often. It takes a lot of attempts , a lot of tries. Wether it is applying for a job, or perhaps trying to understand something, one can learn a lot from daily natural events, God teaches us never to give up, for example, look at the common house cat, it wants to have a good run outside the house, it will keep trying no matter to get out of the house, and jump up the wall no matter how high.
Our faith and our life on earth here is a race, and the race is hard, but we run, and in the end there is a prize for everyone.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. [Matthew 10:22]
