“But we’re not quitters who lose out. Oh, no! We’ll stay with it and survive, trusting all the way.”
Hebrews 10:32-39 MSG
Following Jesus means that you are being called upon to be a pioneer. He is calling you to be the first in your family to break the cycle of unhealthy habits or to break the cycle of emotional or physical abuse.
It will take courage.
You will have to persevere.
You will have to be stubborn to keep going against the odds and swim against the current.
God is asking you to be a change-maker and to be stubborn about it.
Be stubborn about your goals but flexible about your methods.
Jesus never did the same miracle twice.
Each one was different and unique.
Be creative, use what God has given you and fight for change.
