During this hiatus, this waiting period, that is where a lot of people lose their nerve. Most cannot stand the suspense of not knowing the actual outcome. Some break and run if the hurdle appears insurmountable, they quake and quit in business and relationships. But the true courageous person is he who can stand firm, who purposes in their mind that failure in not an option. The turning points of many key moments in human history have been the resolution, or lack thereof, of one person. Courageous patience is the acid test of one’s stern resolve to fulfill their purpose in life. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;background:white'>As you make a wise choice to endure and persist, to "hang in there" in the face of doubt, uncertainty and criticism from others, God will be pruning you and preparing you for the very best for you that is yet to come. Our lives are like the grapevines, twisted, going every which way except the way it should be. As we walk towards our destiny God uses the challenges we face on our life journey to gently prune us. He gets rid of those things in our life which distract and impede us from living a truly extraordinary life. Contrary to what most think that they must be out front and grabbing the headlines, the truth is that spending time with Jesus in the Word is the principal thing in life. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;background:white'>I believe it cannot get any clearer than what the Master himself said “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine”. The Bible has on record that a righteous man delights himself in the LORD, and God gives him the desires of his heart. Abiding in Him entails always walking uprightly by zealously doing the will of God, and God does not withhold any good thing from you. This calls for us to live a godly life, desiring and trusting God to bless our efforts. God and men favor the cause of such people, and they reap results that are only good in this life and the next. Starting today, allow Him to prune you as you pursue your God inspired destiny and see yourself live life to the full until it overflows.</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Georgia",serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%'><b><i><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#222222;background:white'>Gerald is an astute business leader, strategic marketer by profession and a motivator by calling.
