Warriors, are you still wading through the waters of deep sorrow? Know this, although our enemy means this sorrow for your harm, Creator Yahweh will use it for good. Yes. Your heart may be toughened with deep scars, and sadness may take root in your soul. It is true that this sadness and sorrow will change us; that we will never completely recover from our grief, but we have a choice on the outcome once we get on the other side of the river of sorrow.

If we choose to endure this sorrow as warriors being honored for our great bravery, then joy will one day shine through our darkest clouds. Joy was the very reason Jesus, Yeshua allowed himself to be crucified. He saw us! His prize! We were set before him and he did not lose heart.

Take courage warriors. A great prize is set before us, though we see it but dimly while we walk this path of earth and fire.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Hebrews 12:1-11. Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
