We should be able to bring out the best in each and every one, so that it does not matter your situation in life. All you need to do is hold on till the dust settles. My question to you is; do you have the staying power? Can you hold it all the way to the end? When the dust of conflict and condemnation settles will you be still standing?

2. Face Everything And Rise (FEAR)
My mentor used to ask me a certain question and now that question is stuck in my head. He Will ask if I know Mohammed Ali, Mike Tyson, and Martin Luther King. I’d give him the usual response, I do. Then he will ask his million-dollar question, “do you know John Doe?” And I will answer with another question, “Who is John Doe?” My mentor would smile and say, “He quit on himself, which is why you do not know him.” He wanted to let me know I should not back down or quit on myself. It does not matter what challenges come with it.
Now I have grown to follow up and follow through. I am not a quitter, for I have come to learn that winners don’t quit and quitters don’t win.

    This morning the focus of my meditation was on Tamar the beautiful young virgin daughter of the King David. No doubt she was waiting for the man she trusted God would one day bring to her… I was touched by the tragic irony of Tamar’s dress. She ripped the fabric of her robe as surely as Amnon ripped the fabric of her honour. What touched me most was the inappropriate response of her brother Absalom. No doubt he loved his sister, but here’s what he said to Tamar, “Be quiet and don’t take things to heart”(2 Sam 13:20).…

    As we all go through life we will all undoubtedly be faced with circumstances that will make us gush with happiness, circumstances that will make us cry from the pits of our souls, and circumstances that will make us want to scream from the highest peak of the mountains.
