M,
Nothing that comes easy challenges or tests you. And nothing can be learned from never being tested. This race is a long game and not for the faint of heart. It’s a marathon, a test of endurance punctuated by many other tests along the way.
You’re on a journey home for this place and this body are not your permanent place of rest. You’re a tenant that can be evicted by your landlord at anytime. So be prepared for that day. Eternity is your home and the life you lead here is in preparation for that eternity.
The salvation, redemption, faith, grace, hope, and love you need to make this journey are readily available to you: your daily bread. Now it is up to you to make the journey with immovable focus and unwavering conviction.
