Life can be grueling.

 When you’re depleted, even slight inclines feel steep.

Since people around you aren’t quitting, you don’t either.

Perseverance isn’t supposed to be pretty.

Or easy.

If you dig down deep you discover –

You have more in you than you think.

Hebrews 12: 1 – Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, ² fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.
