Keep Moving Forward And Up ... Don't Look Back ....
Keep Your Eyes On The Future, Your Heart On The Lord
When...
Your life's partner leaves you for someone else...
Keep your eyes on the future and your heart on the Lord.
Your child runs wild, breaks your heart and hates you....
Keep your eyes on the future and your heart on the Lord.
Your friend betrays you, jumps ship and lies about you...
Keep your eyes on the future and your heart on the Lord.
Your employer lays you off, fires you or closes down....
Keep your eyes on the future and your heart on the Lord.
Your nation sinks into lawlessness and then falls apart....
Keep your eyes on the future and your heart on the Lord.
Your hero or mentor betrays your trust and quits the fight.
Keep your eyes on the future and your heart on the Lord.
Your health breaks and you are unable to do your duty....
Keep your eyes on the future and your heart on the Lord.
But if you wake up in hell, there is no remedy for that....
So look now to the future and give your heart to the Lord.
Just don't quit .... RB
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It might be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
"Don't Quit" is thought to be by Edgar A. Guest

"The Christian who is truly intimate with Jesus will never draw attention to himself but will only show the evidence of a life where Jesus is completely in control. This is the outcome of allowing Jesus to satisfy every area of life to its depth. The picture resulting from such a life is that of the strong, calm balance that our Lord gives to those who are intimate with Him." - Oswald Chambers
Want peace? Develope a relationship with Jesus that is intimate. Anything else is secondary and can never fully satisfy the longing in mankind, that was put there by our creator from the beginning.
