Never Giving Up Is Never Easy! Poem by Denis Martindale

The man who says his will stays strong, when troubles come to call,
Will soon discover he is wrong... he cannot face them all...
Yet one by one is not the same... and stronger he will come
To challenge each, with single aim, till he has conquered some...
Each nagging doubt begins to fade and doubts descend to nought,
Through every good decision made, based on his wisest thought...
For wisdom brings him victory, like David all alone,
The boy who fought with dignity... and one day gained his throne...

If God provides a certain path, then faith provides new strength,
A time when victors pause to laugh, when they have won at length...
Such that each overcomer smiles, no matter what the odds,
Regardless of the Devil's wiles... and lies told by false gods...
For there are men as good as gold and noble through and through,
The greatest story ever told reminds us this is true...
A Christian's crown for battles won, Christ's Gospel to receive...
Beyond the good that must be done, a legacy to leave...

Apostles preached, disciples learnt, new converts came in time...
So why give up? Let gains be earnt... for each gain proves sublime...
The boy that grows to be a man must let God's wisdom spread...
To boldly do the things he can, not just to get ahead...
God's blessings flow to those that pray... determined to succeed...
Not giving up or led astray, but facing every need...
New challenges will test your tears... yet keep true to your course...
Though burdens build, faith perseveres... faith strives... and thus endures...
