Press On

Cowards never won heaven. Do not claim that you are begotten of God and have His royal blood running in your veins unless you can prove your lineage by this heroic spirit: to dare to be holy in spite of men and devils. ~William Gurnall

I read this yesterday in a book called The Christian in Complete Armour (by William Gurnall). I know it is easy to become discouraged. Sometimes it seems like the battle is all uphill, and there is no way to get to the top. Fortunately, although the battle is uphill, we have the ultimate guide by our side. He will help us to make it to the top if we determine not to give up. Next time you are discouraged, remember that you are a warrior for Christ and keep pressing on toward the top.
In Christ,
Marissa
