Enlightenment and inspiration: In order to labor, we need to have a fighting,struggling spirit. In 1 Corinthians3:6 Paul said,"I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused the growth. "We can not plant a seed one day and after two days expect to see it grow up. However, we need to labor by continuing to till the ground and fertilize and water the plants day by day. To be a person who steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that our labor is not in vain in the Lord.

   In addition to our labor of love, we also need the endrurance of hope. We need to be willing to suffer opposition. We need to be a person who endures in hope of the lord's coming. The endurance of hope is the long subdue all kinds of disappointments, discouragements, and impossibilities, and we can also overcoe all kinds of oppositions, obstacles, and frustrations.

  Some may say that to ba vital is impossible. No one has ever overcome christ. Christ has overcome all His opposers, including us.
