Your intentions must be strong to get through these battles — seemingly, endless battles.

But, I AM, the beginning and the end, so what is the battle?

Truly, what is the battle?

If you dissect what you are fighting, you will see that you wrestle to reconcile your past with your future . . .

But I say, what about now — this time you are living in? You can’t meld the two, as if creating a seam. Your past has passed, and your future you don’t know.

So, how are you creating life from the two?

Live in the present.

Allow Me to open each door in your future.

Release your past. You can’t haul it with you; if it no longer serves you it will weigh you down.

Here, is where you must trust Me to go forth–

I AM leading.

Simply stay in step.

“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

“Let not loyalty and faithfulness forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.” Proverbs 3:3-8

“Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord! Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart, who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways!” Psalms 119:1-3

“Blessed is every one who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways! You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.” Psalm 128:1-2

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-2
