One should not leave an athletic event before the game is over, just because your team seems to be losing; it's the same way in life. Those who stay to the end have learned one of life's most important lessons it may not always be wise to leave before the game is over. In our quest for self improvement the saints of God shouldremind the world that we may be knocked down occasionally, but don't count us out! Dont leave before our game is over!

   As Christians, we are encouraged each time we think of the life and death of Christ. We see the events that day and how people gave up on him and we see ourselves. Our faith teaches us, not to give up, even if we are nailed to a cross..stick around until our games are over.

   Today, defy those who have counted you out. They think you can't do it. There is nothing impossible for you; including a revival of hope and spirit.
