So, as I am weeding a flower bed in a little village of Romania, the Father begins a conversation with me that goes a little something like this….
God-“Hey Emmaly—are you fighting for your family and friends??”
Me-“……um—I think so”
God-“Are you sure?”
Me-“well…probably not as much as I should”
God-“Do you love them?”
Me-“of course Pops—I love them to death”
God-“What about the family that surrounds you right now—do you love them enough to fight for them?”
Me-“yes Father, I love them enough to fight for them”
God-“Then daughter—- rise up to the woman that I have created you to be and FIGHT for them”
You can only imagine my thoughts after this was said to me….
Guys, we are placed on this temporary home to first off—LOVE one another and with that said…we are here to Fight for each other.
Are you doing that?
Can you honestly say that you are fighting for the ones that surround you every day and even for the ones that don’t? Your brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, etc…
Just for some clarity….when I say fight—
I mean loving them even in their ugliest moments just like your Father loves you in your ugliest moments. I mean praying for them even when you honestly don’t feel like praying for them. I mean calling them even when you have nothing to talk about. I mean rebuking them even when it may be difficult.
Fight for the ones you love and even the ones you don’t quite like even if it’s difficult. Even in the moments when you feel like you have no fight left…just ask your Pops, He’ll give you the strength.
Promise….
”And they will be like warriors trampling the mud of the streets in battle. They will fight, for the Lord will be with them, and will defeat the enemy cavalry”- Zechariah 10:5
Fight for your Father the way that you know He fights for you…
”Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, gather there with us. Our God will fight for us!”- Nehemiah 4:20
I love you guys!!
Emmaly
