Perseverance Is Good But

We might have been persevering for a long time now in work, family or relationship. We might even be losing hope already, feeling depressed. Life is not meant to be just perseverance, such life is hard. God does not want us to just persevere; He wants us to have a life, life to the full (John 10:10). He wants us to be happy and enjoy life. Our situation cannot remain perseverance always, we must look at the things we do and make some changes to our lifestyle. Perseverance is good but it’s not the end itself.

We cannot live by work alone, we need to nourish our spiritual life as well. We cannot remain forever in a work environment; we must go out and seek out an environment that can refresh our soul. We will never flourish in our work alone; we will survive but not flourish. We need to seek balance in all areas of our lives and do things that not just feed our bodies but our souls if we are to flourish and not just survive.

God has so much for us and we choose the lesser things. He is giving us a banquet and we choose to eat only chips! So choose the banquet.
