perseverence

Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak. Thomas Carlyle

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9

insensitive

“We can become so insensitive to the Spirit’s prodding that we become too idle, too self absorbed and too busy with too many things that in the eyes of God, are worthless.”   William Banks

Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically, as something done for the Lord and not for men.  Colossians 3:23

Overflow

Love, whether newly born, or aroused from a deathlike slumber, must always create sunshine, filling the heart so full of radiance, that it overflows upon the outward world. Nathaniel Hawthorne

And may the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow and overflow, just as our love for you overflows. I Thessalonians 3:12
