Go On . . .

I remember a short time after becoming a Christian my precious grandfather wrote me a letter. Quite an exciting thing, “back then”, for a twelve year old. A letter all the way from Scotland! It is somewhere in a box . . .I must find it. The last page was filled with “go on, go on, go on, go on . . . “ . I truly did not fully understand it’s meaning then, but now, what wonderful and encouraging advise!

Similarly, C. S. Lewis was asked the question by a young man after writing “The Screwtape Letters” – conversations of demons as they work for Satan in attacking Children of God. 

“When you wrote the book – did Satan give you trouble – and if so

what did you do about it?”

C. S. Lewis replied to this young man’s letter soon after stating Satan was active with plenty of temptations,

“Perhaps . . .the most important thing is to

KEEP ON

not to be discouraged however often one yields to temptation,

but always to pic yourself up again and ask forgiveness!”

Toddlers, learning to walk, are more on their bottoms than on their feet. But none that I have seen wallow in their failures, despairing and despondent – NO.   Off they go again, gaining strength, becoming more steady on their feet and soon running everywhere!

So, dear ones, let us -

keep  on going

go on

go on

go on

go on

We are forgiven! We are growing! We soon will be running into the Father’s welcoming arms!
