You were created to love, serve and follow Him.
Christianity today would lead the modern church-goer to believe that the things to be sought are the things that bring fulfillment in this life - a happy family, financial security, a fine reputation and physical comfort.
That would mean that the Christian would be the center of his own world.
You were not designed for that kind of life. You are a sojourner and a pilgrim. You are passing through and you have been given a glimpse of Heaven and a taste of His Glory. Glory that darkens the temporary shine of earthly pleasures.
So, Soldier of The Cross, to live a sighted life, you must walk in The Light and make the determined and affirmative choice to move on toward eternity, relaxing your clutch on the things that bungee cord us away from the eternal.
This happens in prayer. Over and over and over. It is the taking up of the Cross. The place of the death of the flesh.
Tell Him.
Aloud.
