Have you felt like you were at the end of your rope? No matter how hard you tried, the struggle seemed overwhelming? During those stretches of chaos, I have felt alone and defeated. Growing up, I acquired the belief that Christian’s should not have talk about these times or share the struggle with anyone. I needed to ‘suck it up’ and deal with it. But we are encouraged to endure by linking up with others, by practicing our Triune God’s presence.
“Faithfulness is not holding the fort. It’s storming the gates of hell. The will of God is not an insurance plan. It’s a daring plan. The complete surrender of your life to the cause of Christ isn’t radical. It’s normal. It’s time to quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. It’s time to go all in and all out for the All in All. Pack your coffin!” - Mark Batterson, All In: You Are One Decision Away From a Totally Different Life
