In the endurance contest called life, it is easy to get discouraged. We are constantly being assailed from all sides by issues and events that threaten to take all the joy out of life.
Like the miner who labors for years to find the vein of gold, only to stop inches from the goal, we may be tempted to throw in the towel just moments from victory. And the fallen ones and forces of darkness would like nothing better than to derail a lightbearer inches from the prize.
How do we counteract these dark inclinations? By remembering love, grace, gratitude and joy. We are not victims of darkness unless we choose to be!
By daily choosing love and joy instead of negativity and fear, we build a fortress of light that cannot be breached or overcome. Yes, it takes a conscious effort. But what would you rather be, victim…or victor!
And when you come to stormy seas, let this sense of victory be the wind in your sails that will blow you unerringly to safe harbor in the ever-loving mind of God.
