Encouragement from a supporter of HFP

Hi Doug, I'm reading a daily devo by Max Lucado and it centers on enduring til the end. The verse he uses is found in Matt. 10:22, " Those people who keep their faith until the end will be saved."
The following is is an excerpt."Are you close to quitting? Please don't do it. Remember, a finisher is not one with no wounds or weariness. Quite to the contrary, he, like the boxer, is scared and bloody. Mother Theresa is credited with saying, 'God didn't call us to be successful, just faithful.' The fighter, like our Master, is pierced and full of pain. He, like Paul, may even be bound and beaten. But he remains. The Land of Promise, says Jesus, awaits those who endure. It is not just for those who make the victory laps or drink champagne. No sir. The Land of Promise is for those who simply remain to the end."
Doug, I think of YOU and all the trench workers that endure the process of action on behalf of the prisoners (and families). I thank God for you, AND pray for His strength, wisdom, and patience to hold you up. I also thank you (all) and God for the encouragement upon hearing of prayers answered; freedom gained, medical needs provided, protection offered, stays of execution, special hearings, outside hospice allowed, consoled family members, and whatever means God uses to help you get His work done for the least of the brethren.God bless you Doug, keep up the great work, & ENDURE, I trust your reward will be great!Laura
