Look Up

Child, look up to the Heavenlies, not down at your feet. See the heavenly hosts waging war on God's behalf, on His children's behalf, on His creation's behalf.

No battle is too great for the mighty forces of God's army to win.

If you look down at your feet you can only see where you alone are walking, you can not see that you are part of God's great army, marching forward, heads held high.

You may be sometimes battle-scarred, sometimes weary, sometimes needing to receive healing for your wounds - tempted to give up, to abandon the fight, to hide in the trenches.

Look up and see that you are not alone. This ARMY of GOD is UNDEFEATABLE.

March with it, my child. It is in this march, it is in being part of this army that you will have protection and know victory.
