Practice reaps rewards

Practice Practice Practice
"Practice makes perfect"
we've often heard said
from our parents, our teachers.
If you want to get it right,
If you want to be better,
practice first
and then,
practice again.

You cannot wait
until the mood strikes
It may never come
Your "I don't want to"
may become
your famous last words
repeated over and over and over

In every field
every avenue of life
practice is necessary
for us to be
"accomplished."

Even with God
practice
is a necessary
component.
How will we
talk, pray, interact
with Him,
if we don't practice,
work at it.

How will others see Christ
in you
and so,
glorify Him,
if you do not
practice
what He teaches?

The walk of Christ
is our walk as well,
one we must
continually practice
to be
accomplished in Him.

Don't be misled.
Don't let discouragement overcome you.
Don't give up or give in,
but
Persevere.

"Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." (Galatians 6:9)
