Today...


I read the words written on old pages to an old nation as 
they crossed the desert into a new land -- God will fight for you.

And I draw in a deep breath.

Because I need those words now.

Don't we all?

Oh, we may not go to war.

But we fight...

for relationships

for dreams

We battle...

against illness

against discouragement

I think of you staring at the screen, perhaps feeling your strength is small. Oh, yes, I know what that's like.

But victory isn't up to us.

And those words you sometimes hear? "You're not worth fighting for."

They're a lie.

Nothing more.

This is the truth from the heart of One who calls you His own:

You are loved.

You are worth fighting for.

You are even worth dying for.

So go into your day, strong friend, knowing that nothing can defeat you.

You've already won.
