Perseverance.

When struggles arise
It does not always mean it's time
to leave your post
Although you may feel
unworthy

But it is these experiences
that no one else knows
that make you more
worthy to lead

Don't believe lies told to you
That the requirement for ministry
is perfection
It is holiness, the kind given to you
by the blood of Jesus
and your heart to serve
that qualifies you

And a heart to serve
is not based on feelings
but a will

Am I more holy than you
that I should judge you unfit
to continue on in ministry
when the Head of it all
did not say so?

The quick impulses of Peter's tongue
The fiery temper of James and John
The sinful living of Matthew Levi
The burning question in Thomas' mind

Of whom did Jesus not call to follow
and to serve?
Since they have repented
and turned from their old ways

As long as you desire to give
You don't have to leave

Show me generation
Your perseverance.
