The enemy fears nothing so much as perseverance in well-doing. He can put up with spasmodic piety, with duties and good works zealously begun, with resolutions to go against our own whims and to be faithful to our religious practices-but what he dreads is the courage and love that holds out under difficulties, that perseveres to the end, that answers his challenge, "Come down from the Cross", with "No surrender! I will be true to Thee, Lord Jesus, til death!
I love this post! Right when you want to throw in the towel, one glance of the crucifix, and you have the strength to continue until death. I have days like this sometimes. I think everyone experiences this too.
