Quitting

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.

I'm a child of Jehovah God, a wife, and mother. My inspiration to write comes from the Word of God, and the goal of my writing is to influence people to follow after Jesus Christ. If just one person comes to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, I will have accomplished what I set out to do. The name of my blog comes from knowing that God has been faithful to me, and I want to testify to His faithfulness! Lamentations 3:22-23 "The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning." ~Blessings!
