I Timothy 3:15
Perseverance
John D. McNeil
In a booklet entitled, Keep On Keeping On, Leslie B. Flynn tells of a man who handed out gospel tracts on a street comer. After years of not seeing anyone trust Christ as Saviour, he became discouraged and quit.
Two years later he passed that same familiar corner and saw a person handing out tracts. He walked over to the stranger and struck up a conversation and learned that a little more than two years earlier the man had become a Christian after reading a tract that he had received at that corner.
"Many a time I came back here to find the man to thank him," said the stranger, "but he never came back. So I decided he must have died and gone to his reward. That's why I've taken his place."
Keep on keeping on. Only eternity will reveal the results of a faithfull sowing.
"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise ". (Prov. 11:30).
