God did not call us to quit, but to finish, to overcome, to triumph,.  To quit is to fail.  Hang around until the victory parade, when King Jesus leads the overcomers in triumphal procession.  My Dad used to say, “I want to see the end of a Christian life.”  And he did.  That is what we all should want.  So hang in there my brothers and sisters.  Don’t quit!  Persevere!  Hang on to Him!  Stay in the race!  Finish your story!  Fight the good fight!

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.  From now on there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his appearing.”  2 Timothy 4:7-8 (NRSV)
