Have
you ever persisted in a task for years despite legal opposition and a
total lack of visible success? What would motivate you (or anyone) to
persist? (Serendipity Bible 10th Anniversary Edition, page
1114).
Even
though I have lived a limited life often filled with intimidation
(perhaps because of this very fact), I concurrently have always held
an indomitable belief that I will make a significant and broad
contribution. Now that I am in my sunset years and should on all
accounts be letting go of this belief, the conviction continues to
persist. Perhaps God knows that I am a weak vessel that requires
such an assurance to continue even minimal performance. I have long
since ceased looking for a reason why this belief persists, I simply
accede to its unrelenting sway and influence in my daily behavior. I
am very much the backroom dishwasher cradling an abiding certitude
that one day he will be king.
