Are You an MVP??

What are some of the key characteristics that you think of when you hear the term MVP?  I think of someone who is a good leader or someone who has perfected their skills in whatever it is that they do. Or maybe someone who puts duty before self…..someone who shows total commitment to their vision or mission. Maybe an MVP is someone who can keep their cool in crisis….or someone that has a strong code of ethics and stick by them at all times. An MVP does all these things and more, but there is one thing that they must have to possess these characteristics.  That key thing is ENDURANCE!  Endurance is the power to withstand in hardship or stress. Let’s face it, being a Christian is not always an easy task. Especially as a teen, but always keep your head in the game and run the race the best way you know how! Athletes build endurance to build up strength, sharpen their skills, and to play harder. When you’re on the playing field for Christ you must play hard or go home! Remember ….the race is not given to the swift but to those that endure to the end! A famous quote from a man named William Barclay says…” Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn into glory.”  Matthew 24: 13 tells us that those who endure shall be saved. So keep pressing toward the mark of the high calling and fight the good fight.  It will surely benefit you in the end. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galations 6:9 NIV)  If we obey the Lords commandments, stand on his word, and keep steadfast in doing good, we shall be victorious and overpower our opposer! Peace and Blessings!
