Distraction:

       Soldier of The Cross, know your purpose.


     You must agree with God.  And, as a matter of fact, what is that purpose?  Is it not that you will be transformed into His Likeness, no matter what it takes?


      How connected are you to The Body of Christ?   How much do you love His Word?  How committed are you to taking up The Cross and following Him?  Isn't that the bottom line?


     Things are rough.  Often it is the little sniggly, ordinary barbs of daily life that create the barriers.  But Soldier, you must leave it all behind.


     What is the most important thing in life?  It is the thing most important!   How many think of this matter?  You must.


     Follow hard and fast after Him who gave up Glory to die for you.  He named you.  He has collected your tears in a bottle.  He knows every word you have ever said.  And, He has forgiven you while leading you with His eyes.


     His agenda is you.  He intercedes for you.  He loves you.  He watches over you.


     Soldier, there is simply nothing else.
     Make sure your priorities are also His.
