At this point, many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?”
Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. We believe, and we know you are the Holy One of God. John 6:66-68
QUITTING
I quit!
So this is it?
Go ahead, sulk, and sit!
Throw in the towel,
Throw up your hands!
Go bury your head deep in the sand!
The choice is yours to go or to stay,
I’ll step aside,
I won’t stand in your way.
No, I’ll pick up my towel,
Lower my hands,
Lift my head out of the sand.
Don’t step aside,
I need You to stay,
I don’t want You to go,
For you are the Way.
Great is God’s Faithfulness – Deb
