Ephesians 2:10 “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
In June of 1955, Sir Winston Churchill, who was the near the end of his life, was asked to give a commencement address at a British university. At this time he was physically infirmed; he even had to be helped to the podium. Then he held on to the podium for some time. He stood with his head bowed down then finally he looked up. Then with the aged voice that years earlier had called Britain back from the brink of destruction re-sounded publicly for the last time in history with these words: "Never give up. Never give up. Never give up."
With that, Churchill turned and went back to his seat. Churchill was a man who never gave up.
"Never give up. Never give up. Never give up." This is excellent advice for soldiers, students, for parents, children and for married couples. It is sound advice for all! - "Never give up. Never give up. Never give up."
