You may feel like you are losing control of your life or barely making it. Give your life to Jesus, and he will take you to a destination that is greater than you could ever imagine. If you cling to Jesus as the way, the destination will sort itself out. You will experience purpose and significance like never before. He will deal with you on the way. You do not have to get dressed up for Jesus. That is not Christianity. You do not have to be cleaned up to come to God; God cleans you.

God has a plan for our lives. He has a destiny for us. God is in the long game. He is our God from now until the day we go to Heaven - and that's when the action really starts. God is sowing into our lives. We are not just interested in good events taking place. These events add up to something more. God has meaning in life and He is raising us up. It is important for us to know the path He has for us in the long game. He is working all things together for those who love Him and are called.

The battle line separates the safe place in our lives from the enemy, the battle, and the place where we will encounter something beyond our experience. It is a place of disdain, discouragement, and reproach. We don’t like to be there. It is the place where the giants in your life shout. It is a place where many tend to shrink back into depression and patterns of avoidance.

On the other side of the battle line lies danger and uncertainty, but also your destiny. It is the place of victory. This is the place we must go, or we will never know where God is.

Instead of shrinking back, step across the battle line. The glory of God will arise upon you.
