Vision delayed? Things not going as well as you’d expected?

In [*Amazing Grace in the Life of William Wilberforce*](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1581348754/ref=as%5Fli%5Fss%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=dashhouse-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1581348754&ref=dashhouse.com)

, John Piper writes of the perseverance of [William Wilberforce](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William%5FWilberforce?ref=dashhouse.com):

> His adversaries complained that Wilberforce “jumped up whenever they knocked him down.” One of them in particular put it like this: “It is necessary to watch him as he is blessed with … that Enthusiastic spirit, which is so far from yielding that it grows more vigorous from blows.”

What was the secret to his perseverance? Piper writes, “There is a deeper root of Wilberforce’s endurance than camaraderie. It is the root of childlike, child-loving, self-forgetting joy in Christ.”

Whatever you’re facing today, take heart. Wilberforce persevered for 46 years. Hang in there.
