You have been called and you have been chosen.
Are you His? If so, certain things are assumed:
You do not have the right to complain.
You do not have the right to be right.
You do not have the right to be vindicated in this life.
You do not have the right to be rewarded for what you have done or are doing.
You do not have the right to have financial security absent faith.
Aren't you a Soldier of The Cross? Doesn't that mean the death of the flesh? Is it beautiful for you? Is there anything more desirable than leaving it all behind and following Him?
The most common comment is "You just don't know what I am going through. . ."
The issue is, are you or are you not a Soldier of The Cross? Are you His or are you yours?
Let's talk about that child. Autistic? Serious behavioral issues? No response in spite of numerous caregivers and professionals?
Oh, Soldier, the child is His, and the battle is His. Before the next session, stand before Him. Tell Him you are secure in His Sovereignty. Write the child's name on a piece of paper and hold it up to Him.
Give Him the child. Give Him the session. Do it each day or each hour.
Do it aloud.
Today. Time is short.
