Perseverance -- truly a gift from the Lord and definitely a gift of the Holy Spirit (under many titles I'm sure). I could see perseverance coming through by the work of the seven gifts of the Spirit. Think about that: how wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, filial devotion to our God and awe for who God is. That certainly wil bolster perseverance.
Then there is Faith -- the inner vision of seeing the invisible as the real thing (or as St. Paul says, "what is not seen"). There's no doubt that faith is a firm anchor for perseverance.
Results come -- with dependence on the Spirit of God IN FAITH and with a steadfast rsolution to keep our eyes on Jesus as we move forward to the goal before us.
