Let's be real, the Christian walk is not easy. We are on the battlefield at all times without negotiation. The territory is marked and the lines are defined. What side are you on? Will you be defeated or victorious? Will you embrace the day, let it flow in faith or will you hide behind a mask of fear? Let's be real, this journey is no cake walk. So we must learn to yield to God's way and His plan. He is in control and loves us beyond measure. The hurt, disappointments, discouragement and pain will not disappear. How will we respond is the question. The Lord speaks, will you recognize His voice? Will you yield? Your gift speaks your purpose in this world. You are a gift given to others, so walk in your gift and share who you were made to be. Yield.
