Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

     Soldier, there is something important you must understand.
     If the Lord has called you to be like Himself, things will be different for you than others.  
     Others may be able to squirm around and work things out, and when you try the 
same thing,  it will not work.  Others may get recognition and approval, but when you
do the same thing, you will not get the same .
     Others will seem to simply get the proper return for reward, but it is different with you.
     You are totally His, are you not?  Didn't you intend that as your goal when you said to 
Him the things you said?  After all, what else is there?
     And so, it is different with you, because you are a man or woman of faith.  That 
means that sight has even less meaning than you have thought until now.
     Soldier, press on.
     Pay no attention to the things not gained, and keep your eyes on the Goal.  
     Consider  Jesus.
     Pull your attention away from the gravity of self and  the world, and press into Love!
