I had to fight it off

"...We are confident that you are meant for better things, things that come with salvation." Hebrews 6:9

Yesterday was a tough day, I had a lot on my heart, and this morning I felt the tug like today was going to be even tougher. I'm driving to work and this thought pops in my mind and simultaneously deep in my heart I feel I needed to hear those words. I realized at that moment it wasn't me just thinking, but the Lord was speaking to me. The words that popped in my mind and gave me energy today was "you have to fight it off." Discouragement, doubt, frustration, stress, whatever it is that weighs you down, You have to fight it off. Then today's verse spoke into my life even more, so much that I had to stop reading and instantly begin to write. You are meant for better things, that come with salvation. What comes with Salvation found in Christ and Christ alone?; peace, security, completeness, hope, purpose, and the list can go on and on and on.

We have to fight off what weighs us down because we were meant for better things. I was not meant for discouragement, I was meant to have a gleaming hope for all to see. I was not meant to be in worry, but to live in freedom and joy. I was not meant to just go through life but to live life with a target called purpose and with passion. I-YOU-WE-US were meant for better things. Fight it off, there's so much to fight for. I know of many people who are struggling this Christmas but you have to fight it off, Your meant for better things!

Lord I thank you because it's IN YOU that I have life and find the ability to live.
