The little child looked at his father's legs as he struggle to keep pace with him as they both took a stroll down the street at the cool of the day. His father smiled observing his four year old try to fit in his shoes. He stopped and his son stopped too looking to him to say something to justify why they were stopping.
"You want to stretch your leg as long as I can?" He asked.
His son nodded with saucer sized eyes
"Just keep eating the food, vegetables and fruits your mum gives you to eat everyday"
"Everyday?" He must have thought that to be a lot of work
"Yes, Just keep doing that everyday and you'd keep stretching your legs a little more than you do now. And son, this applies to the things that you see as beyond you"
The four year old nodded like he wasn't sure he understood what his father was saying, but he was taking it in any way.
So it is with every goal we set on paper or even in our imaginations and the person we want to be. We may get really discouraged about the actualization of our goals but even at the moment of our discouragement we are not to STOP, but keep at it. I know you've probably heard this before and not just once, but persistence at the right thing can not be over flogged.
So here it is again. I meditated on this scripture and ThotToShare with you.
Romans 12 :5-9
