Perseverance is an athlete. She trains hard and is consistent. Whether rain, hail or shine you will find her running the oval or training in the gym. With all her preparation, on the day she falls, there is no chance that she can win now, but perseverance is resolute and will complete the race she started. Perseverance is you and I, each time we choose to rise above our circumstances and finish what we start we choose to persevere. When we feel unappreciated or just plain worn out, we keep going because we understand that perseverance must finish its work. As Christian women, let us be determined and resolute, let our lives reflect perseverance so that we can become mature, complete and lacking nothing. Let us be ambassadors for perseverance rather than its harshest critic.` Page 57
