'In peace true soldiers are captive lions, fretting in their cages. War gives them their liberty and sends them, like boys bounding out of school, to obtain their heart's desire, or perish in the attempt. Battle is the soldier's vital breath! Peace turns him into a stooping asthmatic. War makes him a whole man again, and gives him the heart, strength, and vigour of a hero.'
C.T. Studd (famous British missionary)

Never give up





If you are a believer, then there is something inside you that refuses to give up, even under the most troublesome of circumstances and difficult of situations.
In the world you will have trouble, trials, problems and storms. Jesus said, "Be of good cheer: I have overcome the world."
Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Keep on pressing forward, no matter how dark the night or how many opponents you may seem to be fighting. You shall overcome and win the day by God's good grace. 

If your strength is weak, then ask God for his power to sustain you. If your faith is weak, then read the Bible until faith becomes strong, for faith comes by hearing, and hearing comes by the Word of God.
If you feel despondent and feel like giving up, then go out and pray, and lift up your voice to God. He will hear you, and send help from his sanctuary.
If you are without help and seemingly lost, then ask God to open your eyes and see the host of angels he sends to save you and keep you from all evil.
If you sometimes wonder whether it is all over, and the best things have passed you by, then still trust God, for he is able to do what nobody else can do. He can turn your circumstances around and turn night-time into day. 
He is the restorer of the fallen and the rebuilder of the ruined cities. There is nothing too hard for him.

I have proved, and am still proving, the truth of all the above.

My God is good. There is none like him.

His name is Jesus.
