True Grit [2 Timothy 2 v1-7 ]

No I am not writing about John Wayne, but I am writing on the subject of grit, what does it mean to have grit? in my Thesaurus, it says true grit involves, courage,bravery , pluck, backbone,strength of character, hardiness,resolve, determination, perseverance,and lastly, guts. As you read this list consider, many of these qualities are part of being a Christian. Oswald Chambers, says, Spiritual grit is what we need, and it is true, I am glad he wrote spiritual grit, in ourselves we may be a jelly baby, but in the power of the Spirit, we can manifest true grit, and surprise even ourselves. [ Father in ourselves we are timid, weak, and often we just want to be anonymous, take the path of least resistance, please, by your Spirit help us to show true grit in these lives of ours, in Jesus name , Amen.]
