'We shall write many a crooked line
We shall write many a crooked line and leave many a blotted page
Many a night we shall retire to weep at Christ's feet, over the day's failures. In our efforts to follow the perfect copy set for us by our Lord, we shall write many a crooked line and leave many a blotted page , blistered with tears of regret.
Yet we must keep through all a brave heart, an unfaltering purpose, and a calm, joyful confidence in God. Temporary defeat should only cause us to lean on Christ more fully. He will assist everyone who is loyally struggling to do the Divine will, and to grow into Christlikeness.
And that means assured victory to everyone who perseveres.
"The one who endures to the end will be saved!" Matthew 10:22
