If you understand salvation as in placing your trust in Christ Jesus, then you know that your future is bright on the other side. Our forever home in Heaven. Ive been on many paths before He personally showed up and pulled me up out of despair and was finally at the end of my rope. Now, knowing my future is assured, it is all about focusing on others. I am taken care of and He demonstrates this in the most unpredictable circumstances. He connects the dots. There is joy in such a walk no matter what the earthly situation. I do believe that we are in a time that we will all be challenged, perhaps even facing persecution. But He imparts a peace that i cannot "conjure up". Then , even if i am not "happy" at the moment or in some difficult circumstance, that does not have to cancel the joy i STILL have. This is the long game, fren. For us to be a source of hope to others. While i would be happy to be off of this planet and go Home today, i do know that also is in His timing. I have always believed that i will get to see how all this insanity turns out. I wanna see it, even if it gets rough. The final reward will all be worth it. I strive to not let the enemy steal my joy. And this is really as simple as being loving to your family, your neighbor, and civil to all. The last thing the enemy wants is for us all to get along. Not saying to be a patsy or a pushover, but as we are commanded by Christ to first love God and then your neighbor. Yeah, it might get rough, but i also know that i signed up for this, for such a time as this. And i would tend to think that you have, too. THAT IS WHY YOU ARE HERE. So dont give up. Better yet, Illegitimi non carborundum. Godspeed. Now carry on.
