I hope when this message reaches you, you are in a much better spirit than you were the day before.  I know it’s hard to believe right now from where you are, but hope lies just around the bend so keep pressing on, persevere, and prosper.  You have been forged in the heat of battle for such a time as this – and now that the trumpet has sounded, you must answer the call.  

Gather up the remnants from the annals of your life thus far and go forward until you come to the next station in your earthly journey, knowing that all things are possible to him that believeth and the sun does not stop shining simply because the sky is gray. Look for the silver lining and follow the streak better days are coming. I promise with sugar on top, angel kisses, and all, because the way of the cross leads home.

In accordance with the liberating word of almighty God, “The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 2:14, NIV)

By faith in the most precious, very able, and willing God, I pray and trust him immensely believing that whatsoever he promised, he is most assuredly able to perform…and he didn’t bring me this far to fail me.
