Do you have a tenacious spirit? Sometimes it can be used for good and sometimes it is used for bad. Either way, it is likely that it is a controlling substance that has a stronghold over you. In the Bible, tenacity has hurt the Jews who basked in their own stubbornness, but sometimes, like in the case of the Syrophoenecian woman, it was persistently used to gloriously praise the Lord Jesus Christ. If during a period of rejection, the God still is asking you to come now, and let us reason together. What comforting words they are to those that persevere and strive to draw close to our Father in Heaven who loves us dearly.
