Perseverance means steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success - patience, endurance as to things or circumstances. If there is one thing that I could point to that has gotten me to this stage in my life, it would be perseverance. I did not learn this on purpose. I took no college course for it. Let's understand perseverence as attributed to the pursuit of our Christian faith - not in relation to life as we know it. There have been many who have persevered much, but not for their faith or in relation for their faith. Remaining focused and following Christ whatever comes our way.
