We should all know that to live successfully we must be committed strivers, be convinced that we have a purpose and this will lead us to persevere.
But what does it mean to persevere? Well, it is nothing more than being constant, firm, and dedicated to what we want to achieve.
Assuming these characteristics and turning them into our own qualities are the foundation for personal and spiritual growth.

Many times we want to achieve great things, we decide to give a turn to our life and we start with the process of change that requires that challenge, but always appear the so-called situations of adversity that become a clear threat to make us give up and forget the way, these usually come our way when we least expect them.
In these situations we can be victorious if we persevere.
What happens is that most of the time people try but even though they start well, after a while they give up.
There is no better way to explain this than the one used by the apostle Paul, in 1 Corinthians 9:24
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.
Not giving up, persevering, will make us winners in life. We can achieve this if we look to God. We can all fail at some point, but God is perfect, if we are focused on Him, we will never slip.
We should never take our eyes off the goal, the end we want to have, despite the pain, the attacks, the betrayals, the misfortunes, even if we get discouraged, let us gain strength, let us not let ourselves be defeated, even if we are questioned, let us go ahead.
Let us be coherent with what we have decided to achieve and let us live so that this becomes a reality, let us walk in consonance with our purpose. Changes are often good and even if it is difficult for us we must endure it, God will always do something extraordinary for those who wait on Him.
The Bible teaches us principles, values and enriching teachings that can make your life a wonderful and hopeful reality. It will always be opportune to start a change in our life, no matter how difficult it may seem, perseverance will help us to reach our goals and dreams.
We are called to persevere in the love of God, in the race of faith, in our growth.
