Grateful to be called to be part of the community of my brothers and sisters all around me and around the world, living and fighting for the Kingdom. We are a vast and mighty army, our work is not unseen, we are children of the Light. Chosen , Empowered by God. Chosen, fought for, and dearly loved by He who is our Light in this present darkness.
We are not alone and our fighting and hopes are not in vain. Soon will come a day when within a moment, within a flash, we will be taken to an entirely new place, a place our hearts alone will recognize and within a moment, all our pain, all our suffering, all our teams, all our hardship we endured here on this earth, will be sucked up into this moment, a moment that alone undoes years of pain, suffering, heartache and loss. A moment in which we are brought to this wide open place where we are in His presence and find our hearts are fully satisfied. For we are a family and an army, a people set apart, His children of the light.
