MacArthur on Perseverance

 As a recovering quitter, I was encouraged by this quote by John MacArthur in The Quest for Character:
Perseverance clearly doesn't mean that we will never fail; it means that when we do fail, we should seek the Lord's promised forgiveness, learn from our failures, and persevere anyways...[Peter] did not succumb to discouragement; he did not abandon the faith; and he did not repeat the same mistakes over and over.  He learned from each mistake and thus drew strength even from his failures.
