Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

     Although it may seem that some are always the  same, do not be deceived - we
all fight the same battle.
     There has never been a Redeemed one who has not experienced defeat, 
discouragement, despair, and the sensation of a numb heart.
     Soldier of the Cross, you can't go back.
     No matter what you try, you have been born into the Kingdom of His Dear Son, and
you can't get out!  The Blood has made you a permanently Adopted son.
     This is where you are now.
     Stop looking at your situation.  Stop thinking it would be better if you could undo
it.
     You have the Power to change your thoughts and make them agree with God.
     You must do something about your distress.
     Turn off the television and get a book by or about a Soldier of the Cross who has 
gone before.  You need to see the footprints in the thick mud you now walk through -
to see for yourself that others have walked this way and found victory and tasted 
Glory.
     You need heaven's CPR, and that means there must be a supernatural breath
that rushes through your being and brings the sensation of Life back to your 
awareness and to your desire.
     There is nothing wrong with you - you are not a failure.  You need the Great
Physician.
     Go to Him and tell Him you will obey.
    The stories of those who have gone on before will fan the fires of you heart.
    Then, look up and move on!
