My Determined Purpose

The only way we can fully comprehend the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ is when we stand up out of the ditches and the trenches of fear and respond to the call of God that says, “Arise, Shine! For your light has come, and the Glory of the Lord has risen upon you! God protects us and covers us in songs of praise and shouts of deliverance. We don’t just gather under the shadow of his wings like scared little chickens, but we gather in a safe place where we can enjoy and celebrate God’s presence, so that our vision and faith can be shaped by a revelation of God’s goodness. He’s throwing a party for us! It’s time to lift our heads and reclaim the dreams that have been lost and forgotten because they seemed to idealistic or difficult. We have a determine purpose to look forward and not backwards, to press on so that we can know and experience the fullness of Heaven here on earth.
