Who is the Persevering Assistant?

There is a very superficial idea of what perseverance is, which is to stand firm, to be constant, to not give up, but after all, in what way does God expect my perseverance? That is the big question!
“How so Luisa? It seems that sometimes you complicate the subject even more, when it seems so basic.” Well, the truth is that we can’t be so basic and superficial, when dealing with issues concerning our spiritual life.
I will teach you something that you should take with you for the rest of your life: Everything that is related to God is simple, but at the same time is very profound, and above all it requires our SACRIFICE, renunciation and the abnegation of our “I”. Please engrave forever this teaching in your mind. Ok?
Let’s go to the subject of today’s article:
Unfortunately, we have observed that there are many assistants who say they are perseverant, but when we go deep into her life’s history, we can see clearly that this perseverance is linked to her own will, that is, she has persevered in her way of being, in her fixed ideas, in her bad eyes, in her evil thoughts, in her timidity, her pride, conclusion: they are persevering in what perishes, which is not eternal and that makes them be far away from the perfect and pleasing will of God.
Make no mistake, for the perseverance that pleases God is when we remain in HIS Word, it’s when we bulletproof our mind and our interior at every moment from all that is corruptible, not letting us be corrupt from the subtlety of feelings.
Are you able to understand? What are your thoughts about this article today?

Good morning Ms Viviane,
I understood that perseverance in God’s word is the most crucial thing as an assistant. Everything related to God requires sacrifice. I have to remain in His word and not allowing my inner being to be corrupted. I have to guard my mind and my heart to make sure it is always the will of God that prevail in all that I do, as I pray day and night to give me more strength to be a better servant evenmore.
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for this message it has been a topic of thought of mine for some time now especially since joining godllywood and the challenges of each week they have caused me to look at myself and to reflect and to really see myself for what I have allowed myself to become. I realize how much more I still have to go but I will keep my head up and keep pushing for the Excellence that God wants me to be to glorify HIM.

Indeed, the perseverance that pleases the God we serve is when we remain in His Word, not allowing our inner being to be corrupted. It is when we guard our minds and hearts and make sure that it is always the will of God that prevails in all that we are and do, never our own.

Mrs Vivi
Wow, what a true insight of a post. My God, i kept on repeating the line that states ” Everything that is related to God is simple, but at the same time is very profound, and above all it requires our SACRIFICE, renunciation and the abnegation of our “I”.
There is so much that God wants me to do, but it always combines to one thing, which is the key to my salvation. Persevering for what is eternal is the way. Thank you so much.

This blog post is very deep and insightful as I have never seen the word PERSERVERANCE in that way. I totally understand and agree that persevering in God’s word is the most important thing. It’s a sensible investment and builds character within us.
“Everything related to God requires sacrifice”-this is so true because when people give up they become further away from God; so this shows that sacrifice is the only way to be close to God.
Thank you for sharing and may God continue to use you!
