Pain

      Why does it have to hurt?

     How can the agony be so intense if there is a Lord who cares so much? 

     Soldier of The Cross, it is not your business to quantify difficulty. The issue is, He has already said that you could walk on the water if you would trust Him.   In fact He has guaranteed it.  Therefore, the matter is one that must be relinquished in prayer and with specificity.

 
     Years ago, I watched a Christian man give his children to the Lord.  He wrote each name on a piece of paper. On a cold Maine day, he stood against a hundred year old radiator and lifted up those pieces of paper.   Barely able to speak, he told the Lord that He could have the children, and they were offered by name to the Lord, one at a time.

     Since that day, he has no vital contact with his children, but he is free because he agreed with God. 

     Soldier of The Cross, what is your issue?  Is it the need for security?  Do you need to see beyond tomorrow?

     Or, are you available for the Frontier of Faith?

    Make your choice in prayer.  Tell Him.  Aloud.
