Greetings Dear Readers;
.
Hope you are well and enjoying the weather wherever you are.
.
This is a very old maxim from the time of the Old Roman Empire.
It is interpreted from the Latin. ... 'He is a winner who perseveres.'
When watching a sport of any kind....the spectators appreciate those who persevere to the end...especially the winner. The win represents so much ....the time spent to train, the person being tested mentally and physically to the limit, and last but not least the determination that is solely up to the individual in order to win. It is a moment in time that makes the heart soar.
What about those who realize they will not be the winner...should they give up, should they throw in the towel, as it were. Let's hope not, for the true test is that of persevering...which will contribute to the next opportunity...building that determination muscle.
What a timeless truth, let's give it a think...shall we.
Wishing you the very best...God's best!
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord." Luke 2.11
It is faith alone in Christ alone for eternal life.
Thank you for dropping by. __
