Persevere...Father does know best!

"We must not measure the reality of love by feelings, but by results. Feelings are very delusive. They often depend on mere natural temperament, and the devil wrests them to our hurt. But if you are earnest in striving to serve and endure for God's sake, if you persevere amid temptation, dryness, weariness, and desolation, you may rest assured that your love is real." ~Jean Nicolas Grou
"Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him." ~James 1:12
"As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy." ~James 5:11
"Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers." ~ I Timothy 4:16
"You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised." ~ Hebrews 10:36
"By faith he left Egypt....; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible." ~ Hebrews 11:27
"(Love) always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." ~ I Corinthians 13:7
