Today's story is called the parable of the persistent widow. One day, Jesus wanted to tell his disciples how to pray, and he wanted them to know what to pray without giving up. So he told this story, he said in a town, there was a judge who didn't care about people. And he even didn't care about God. Also in this town, there was a widow who had been wronged by someone else in the town. She came to the judge to seek justice, but he didn't give it to her. So she continued to come back to the judge and ask him to grant justice against the person who had done this wrong to her. He said no time and time again. The finally, after some time he thought to himself, even though I don't care about this problem, this widow is not going to stop bothering me because of this. 

I will give her justice so that she won't eventually come and attack me. Now, this story seems a little bit strange, but let's talk about it. So Jesus told his disciples, this parable to show them how to pray and never give up in this story. We have a widow that's supposed to represent us, but who is this judge? Surely Jesus. Isn't comparing God to an unjust judge. What Jesus wants us to see here is that God is not like this judge. He is good. And he is just because of this. Whenever we come before him with our problems and cry out to him, he'll always answer. And he won't delay in answering our prayers. He'll make it happen. And quickly then Jesus ends by saying however, when the son of man comes, will he find faith on the earth? Why does Jesus mention faith? What does that have to do with persistence or prayer? Well, let's look at it this way. If we don't have faith that God's going to do what he says, he'll do. We won't be like this persistent. We'll give up because we don't believe that he's going to work in the way that he tells us he will. But if we have faith, we'll continue asking and asking and seeking God until he gives us an answer. 

Before I finish up with the story, I just want to let you guys know that we're really glad that you're here. Please do stick around to the end of the video.

All right, let's get back to the story a long time ago, God told me that he wanted me to share about him with everyone that I met. Initially, I was really afraid to do this and I didn't know how, but I trusted God and I stepped out and I decided that I was going to share with everyone that I saw about Jesus. I started sharing day after day after day, but I didn't find anyone that was interested in the message, but God told me to keep going and not give up. About six months later, I finally found someone that was interested in Jesus and they chose to accept Jesus into their life and make him their there, you know, that was one of the greatest days of my life. When we continue to be persistent in what God has for us, as well as spending time in prayer, God will do amazing things in our life, but it's not easy to get there. Persistence. Isn't an easier fun thing, but it's something that has a great reward. 

So I know I want persistence and faith. How about you just want to give a huge thank you to each of you for sticking around through this video. I hope you guys enjoyed the parallel persistent widow.
