"Only people with longevity get to see those types of things."
The reward of longevity is seeing goals accomplished. Ask anyone who has weathered a storm or who has stuck it out if they were glad they did. They will tell you that it was tough but totally worth it.
My father in law has been the pastor of our church for the past 27 years. He took a group of 12 people, most of whom were his family, and today tens of thousands attend our church. A few years ago he told a group of pastors one of the secrets of his success. He told them the reason he was successful when others failed was because he outlasted them.
The same is true in all areas of life. Don't stop until you reach the goal. Stay in for the long haul. You will be glad you did!
Have you stuck out any storms? What rewards have you seen for staying in for the long haul?
