Kindred,
What is important in your journey of life?
Before you can have positive relationships with the Lord, with your family, friends and humanity, you need to have a good connection with yourself.
The battle to overcome challenges does not take place outside yourself.
It must come from within.
Bravery, integrity, love, perseverance, peace, empathy and all the positive attributes required to pass your test of character must come from within.
Before you can fulfill your purpose you must know your purpose, not in accordance to your ambitions, but in accordance to the Lord's Design.
The Art of War people would like to imagine that if you know thyself and thy enemy then you can defeat them and have glory; but what if you are playing, not against your imagined opponent, not for some territory or land, but the Lord on the Lord's playground and against your tests character?
What is the unforeseen?
What is the unknown?
And what is the final Judgement?
Your Judgement (measured by the ethics and standards of the Lord)?
