Adalie was at the dining room table engrossed in a math test. She was struggling with a particularly difficult division problem. With each check, she realized the problem was wrong and had to start again. She completed her test after much chagrin.
The Lord instantly showed me a moment of teaching. I took her in my arms and praised her for her perseverance. I shared Romans 5:3-4 with her about perseverance producing character. And told her that God was pleased with her. I told her she was like her daddy, a man who has persevered since the day I met him, to accomplish that which the Lord has called him to. Just like her, daddy has experienced times of frustration and discouragement, but he hasn't given up, and because of that the Lord has blessed him.
Well done Adalie! Your perseverance is a blessing to the Lord and to me.
