I was listening to a student at chapel last week who was preaching on how our struggles and situations develop character in us and make us to be the men/women that God needs us to be to walk in His calling for our lives. In passing he mentioned that many times we are tempted to quit. As he said the word quit, the following thoughts came to my mind and spirit:
"When you say that it is better to quit than to keep going - you are, in reality, saying that it is better that my neighbors and family become Muslims (because the Muslims are not quitting) OR it is better that my neighbors and family die and go to hell (because the powers of darkness are not quitting) OR it is better that I live for myself and be destroyed by my sins (because sin and selfishness are not quitting)."
Now is not the time to quit. Now is the time to say, "Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world." There is much more at stake than your comfort. Quitting should not be an option.
