Chapter 8 verse 6 Persist until God is moved?

All you can do for what you want in your heart is to persist until the moment God yields. ? ?

Every year, the U.S. Customs confiscates a variety of illegal imports, such as household appliances, cosmetics, bicycles, etc. The government's solution is to auction them off. ?
At this auction, some bicycles were mainly auctioned.Every time the auctioneer called, there was always a boy in his early teens, who always started bidding with "$5" and watched the bike go for $30, 40, or 50.When the auction was suspended for a break, the auctioneer asked the little boy why he didn't compete with a higher price, and the boy said he only had $5. ?
The auction started again, and the boy made the same bids for each bicycle, and then dropped his bids, and the result was of course the same as before.Some people started noticing the kid, they started paying attention to how things were going to end. ?
The auction is coming to an end, and at this time, there is only one bicycle left.But this one is really good, not only is the body shiny like new, but also has a ten-position stick transmission, a two-way handbrake, a speed display and a set of electric night lights. ?
After the car was placed on stage, the auctioneer scanned the room and asked, "Who will bid first?"?
At this time, the little boy who was standing in the front and had almost given up hope shouted again: "$5!"?
The auctioneer stopped asking prices and just stood there smiling. ?
All the people present stared at the little boy, no one made a sound, and no one raised their hands.After asking the price three times, the auctioneer slammed the auction hammer on the table and said loudly, "It's a deal! This bike is sold to this young man in white sneakers!"?
The audience applauded.The little boy took out his sweat-soaked $5 and got what was undoubtedly the most beautiful bicycle in the world.A bright smile finally appeared on his face. ?

When a person pursues something in his heart, he will definitely have a strong internal driving force, which can support him to face failures again and again, and go on firmly until the moment when God is moved by him. ?
When Balzac lost his hands?
Persistent pursuit of perfection can create perfect art. ? ?

European sculptor Rodin once sculpted a statue of Balzac.In order to create this work, understand and understand the thoughts and feelings of the author of "Human Comedy", and express Balzac's inner charm, Rodin carefully read all of Balzac's works and carefully studied the critical articles on Balzac and biographical works. ?
Not only that, Rodin was extremely serious about the creation of statues.At that time, the commissioner of the statue limited it to 18 months and gave Rodin a deposit of [-] francs.Rodin returned [-] francs to avoid shoddy work due to lack of time and asked for more time. ?
In the process of creating the statue, Rodin also often consulted others. ?
Late one night, Rodin had just completed a statue of Balzac in his studio, admiring it alone.Balzac in front of him is wearing a long robe, with his hands folded on his chest, showing an indomitable momentum.The excited Rodin couldn't wait to wake up a student and let him evaluate his work. ?
The student admired the teacher's masterpiece with surprise, and his eyes gradually focused on the hands of the statue. "Wonderful, teacher!" the student exclaimed, "I have never seen such a pair of wonderful hands!" Hearing such compliments, the smile on Rodin's face disappeared, he hurried out of the studio, and Call another student. "Only God can create such hands, they are almost as alive." The student said in a reverent tone.Rodin's expression became more unnatural, and he called a third student.Facing the statue, the student said in the same respectful tone: "Teacher, the hands you molded alone can make your name last forever." At this time, Rodin had become extremely excited, and he walked around the room restlessly. Go, look at this statue again and again.Suddenly, he picked up the hammer and decisively knocked off the pair of "peerless and perfect hands".The students were stunned by the teacher's actions and didn't know what to say for a while.After calming down, Rodin said seriously: "Children, these hands are too protruding. They have already had their own life and do not belong to the whole of this statue." After thinking for a while, he continued: "Remember, A perfect work of art, no part is more important than the whole.”?
Today, at the intersection of two avenues in the center of Paris, there is a statue called "Balzac Monument".Balzac on this statue, with his head held high and his hair loose, stares at the grotesque world in front of him with mocking and contemptuous eyes.However, he has no hands, which is Rodin's work. ?
Mind walk?

Rodin's courage is commendable, but his dedication to art is even more impressive.If there is no extreme love for art and a tireless pursuit of perfection, the pair of "peerless perfect hands" may continue to obscure the demeanor of Balzac's statue, and finally make Rodin's sculpture into history of trash. ?
