All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination. – Earl Nightingale
Through a multitude of tests, you will learn courage. It does not matter the price you pay, but at any cost you must obtain strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger or bear pain or adversity with courage. The secret is to endure and hold on, for it you will get through. He will build your resources until you are able to carry unusually heavy loads and withstand intense pressures.
You will become an ambassador of the Kingdom of Heaven to whom you can assign critical missions and confident that you are equipped to fulfil them. It will be in vain if you anticipate resting in a comfortable place. No, you will find yourself put in a place of training and discipline, so that when the moments of crisis come you will not become fainthearted, and you will not become
the victim.
Trust my instruction in all of this, as you have in various past experiences. I am faithful and loving, and I am doing this so that you may meet the future days. Do not be afraid but rather be of strong courage and know that you were born for greatness.
2 Peter 1:5–8
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge, and to knowledge self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness, and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
