This morning Peter called
to friends in difficulty 
to raise their eyes...
to lift up their focus...
to have a different perspective
on our life with God... 
the one after this one of struggle 
that this life is full of 'stuff' that doesn't 'sit well...
suffering  
unjustness  
apparent triumph of evil....  
 
and
Peter called them to 
'raise the bar'
to choose the long term over the present pain...
 
Peter calls me to live this season of my life
Well.
I need to intentionally 
Choose to live into
what
Jesus paid highly for me to have.... 
LIFE eternal   ref 1Peter 1
 
One foot on earth
one in heaven
 
One agenda
one focus
Christ having His Kingdom come
in me
through me...
in the midst of pain
and even
suffering....
 
Lord
That is my desire
I choose to see difficulties
as part of Your journey
of revealing Yourself
to me
and 
through me
 
I anticipate Your 
Kingdom fruit
in that place of what feels so hard
today...
 
Thank You Jesus.
for walking with me
and for
leading by the example of
Your life here..
 
Thank You.
