Today

What did you do yesterday? Today? What will be done tomorrow? Millions of people don't know...what a sad world. There are millions out there, in fact, billions, that don't know where they came from, why they're here, and where they're going. Who will tell them? 50,000+ strong? There has to be more. . .

Yesterday we lived in bliss we didn't understand. Today we live in hell. Tomorrow we will reign in happiness. Fight the good fight. Keep your head held high. Suit up. Make sure your armor glistens in the sunlight and shines through the darkness. The night is drawing near. The war is almost over. The tired souls will keep fighting and marching on until He says it's over.

. . .but brothers and sisters. . .the night will get darker. The rain will fall harder. When the darkness shrouds us in her arms, will we have enough oil to keep the flame burning strong? Will the path remain lit? How will we see in the darkness of today?

Love your enemies and keep them close. They may be your friends and allies one day. They know where the lost ones hide. They can help bring them to the light.

Dust off your map and guidebook. Keep it by your side.

Don't worry about patching any knee holes in your pants. They're supposed to be there.

Pay any tolls that are due on the path of life. Give tribute to your King.

Tomorrow will be here soon. Peace will reign at last. Don't forget to believe. Faith has brought you here. Work so that faith can take you home.

Last of all, remember how it is done. Justice was not removed. Mercy isn't free. All laws were satisfied. The blood of The Risen will save those who were just, and those who were merciful. Don't forget this blood will bring life to all who die.

Life is not so easy to live. We are born and sent on our way. Don't forget your dreams and lose them along the paths of life. Remember who you are. Remember your divine heritage. This will get you through the sleepless nights. This will get you through the endless days. Each day is the same until tomorrow comes. Never back down. When the world shies away, stand strong and hold your head up high.

Listen. Listen to the wind, the water, the earth itself. Listen to those around you. Listen to God. Start now. Don't wait for another second to tick away. You will hear the creations of your maker. Your appreciation will grow, and you will remember where you want to be Tomorrow.

Never forget. Don't forget where you came from, why you're here, and where you're going. It is what makes our existence worth it! Live today and fight for tomorrow!
