'No one gets the crown
No one gets the crown — without the conflict!
"To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God!" Revelation 2:7
The daily temptations which make every true life such a painful conflict from beginning to end — bring us constant opportunities for growth of character. To struggle — is to grow strong.
The soldier's art can be learned, and the soldier's honors can be won — only on the field of battle.
If you would grow into the beauty of the Master, you must accept the conflicts , and fight the battles . You can live easy if you will, by declining every struggle — but you will then get little out of life which is truly noble and worthy.
The best things all come after the battle — you must fight your way across the field to get them.
Heaven is only for those who overcome. No one gets the crown — without the conflict!
"To him who overcomes , I will give the right to sit with Me on My throne!" Revelation 3:21
