The battle that is raging has already been won.
The battle is real, but the outcome is pre-determined.
The Creator has already ensured that in the end, there is Victory for the righteous.
This isn't what I see.
But what I see isn't all there is...
Because I have faith in God's reality
because He's shown me He is real and He is there
And He's proven He knows me . . . and is With me in His Word . . .
And is With-In Me.
He gave me grace to Believe . . .
and has confirmed at every milestone,
and stones in between,
and through the words of others who know His love;
And together we are the Beloved.
I live in a world where the unseen riches are the greatest ones,
Where my greatest lover is not physically here with me,
.
.
.
but is with me.
Where the one whom I don't see, is the one who never leaves me.
and never stops loving
me.
It is so hard not to believe what you see. But we really don't believe in the madness of what we see--- the darkness, the hate, the death. We know it is happening, but it is not the whole story. It is not the truth. The truth is in the hope that beats these things. Flips them on their head. The darkest hate is not beyond the redeeming blood of Jesus. The redeeming blood of the Anointed One is for precisely this kind of darkness. It's His power that transforms this into light. The hope is eternal life in Jesus. The hope is spiritual wealth, peace, joy, the blessing of God. We live for heaven, not for this world. We cannot let what our eyes behold deceive us. We are called to walk by faith, and not by sight.
He loves us.
