The Bible is replete with commands to persevere, especially in the face of injustice.
Joni Eareckson Tada
One of the most wonderful things about knowing God is that there’s always so much more to know, so much more to discover. Just when we least expect it, He intrudes into our neat and tidy notions about who He is and how He works.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Believers are never told to become one we already are one and are expected to act like it.
