Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

       You were not made to be stoic and immune to pain.
     But you were made to need Him.
     As long as we are in this world, we will be hurt. And often by the ones we have helped the most.
     It is not to be understood, but it is to be patiently endured. Didn't He say He would be the Lifter of your head? Didn't He say He would be your High Tower and your Fortress?
     Well, it is true. So, let Him.
     Soldier, your job is only to obey. Your job is not to protect yourself from future hurts or to understand this one. Your treasure is in heaven, and don't you forget it! You are dead, and your life is in Him!
     He suffered much for those who did not know who He was or appreciate what He was doing.
     He understands. But you need to talk to Him outloud. The Word instructs you to articulate your heart to Him, and this you must do. You may not feel immediately better, but your sight will certainly be clear.
     You have only one goal:
     Jesus.
