Arrival:

     Soldier, there is no point of arrival.

  
     We are learning to depend on, follow and lean on Him.  That is not easy for the flesh.   And, there will be no time on this earth when any Christian steps onto some plateau that stands above human frailty.  He and He alone is the Rock of Ages, and we do not become little satellite Rocks.

     Yes, we are adopted Sons and we live in the Kingdom of Light.  Nevertheless, we are to follow Him.  We are not to become independent and improved.  While we can revel in and partake of His perfection, the Bible teaches us that we are needy and do not outgrow our need for Him.

     We also need each other.  Those who try to be lone rangers are always odd, at best.  We were intended to love each other.  To lay our lives down for each other.   

     Soldier, be a forward looking Christian.  We are moving through life with a stunning and unstoppable momentum.  There is a Plan and it does not include living only for this life.

     Memorize the Word.
     Pray.  Aloud
     Read the writings of those who have gone before.
     Be available to love sacrificially.
     Pray more.

  
     There is nothing else.  
     There is no one else.
