Soldier of The Cross, make a deliberate decision each day to dedicate all of your faculties to Him during your waking hours.
After all, there is nothing else.
They are sighted, who pray according to God's Word. They can see that all of creation bends and presses toward eternity. They can see that there can be no shallow living. There can be no untruth. There can be no ungodly compromise. The race must be run, and run in obedience.
Ask the Lord to let you see as He sees. You will be enabled to minister in areas that have been closed to you. You will be able to love the unlovely. You will find yourself eager to walk by faith.
Living in agreement with God brings an acute awareness of the shortness of time.
Soldier, love not the world.
When you gaze upon Jesus, you will be inoculated against shallow passivity, and energized to pursue Him.
