Not giving up
“Blessed is the man who endures trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life which God has promised to those who love him.”
James 1:12

2 - Reflect
Sometimes giving up can often be the easiest way. Faced with the frustration of not achieving what we have set out to do, we can be tempted to abandon the things which we have been so careful about. Nobody likes it when their plans fail or take twice as long to get something they want. But the anger at not being successful in what we endeavor can fill us with discomfort and disappointment. Sadness can be part of that process and we must give it a place but it should not paralyze us. If we hide behind a failed attempt: how can we be able to visualize what is to come?
God will always be attentive in order to guide us towards what we want. He will accompany us even in the times when we do not understand completely what we must do in order to achieve it. The Lord will be the one beside us, showing us the best cards we have to play in the game of our destiny. Because only He knows and is witness to our effort and perseverance and will give us His support in the form of divine gain. Even so we are annoyed by the results we have obtained, these are small obstacles that we will have to face in order to reach a greater goal, and doing so in the company of Our Father will be enlightening.
