In It To Win It.-If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it!- Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.-1 Corinthians 9:24-27-DIVINE WORDS BY DIANE.

Yes, like Charles Spurgeon who won much for the Lord... then died a slow sickly death.
And William Tyndall - my favorite martyr: killed and burned by the Catholic Church, yet changed the world of literature.
