I will Fight for You

“Will you?” 

“Yes.”

“My longing is for my son. He is lost and I a need a leader for the search team.”

“I’ll do it.”

“It won’t be easy. The way is treacherous. The cost is high. There are no guarantees. There will be many requirements, a sleepless night or two. Trust Me and follow My directions. Do all that I ask. I long for my child. His destiny is significant. I have much in store for him. Deborah, I’m am sending you in. He will respond to your words and to your touch. You are My emissary. Look past his pain, his issues, the distress he may cause. Look past all of that and see him as I see him, a highly honored one. I want him free of all burdens. The distinguishing factor about being astray, by definition, is you don’t know when it happens. You wander distracted or overburdened. You glance up and the terrain is unfamiliar. And sometimes, Deborah, my children settle there in the wrong place. They decide to take residence. They resist trying to get back home and their hearts begin to long for things that are harmful. They forget their place in My arms. In My home. They settle down for the long haul. Understand that when you step out to fight, You become a target. You may be injured. You may be harmed. He may choose to stay at a distance even as we clear the path. Deborah, when it is all done the only reward you may receive are these words, ‘Well done, Beloved.’ Is that enough?”

“It is. I will fight for You and for him. I am equipped and relentless. I see his indescribable value. It is worth the personal expense required. I will persist until I see your victory flags arriving on the battlefield. I will be his champion. ‘Well done’ is more than enough.”

“The victory, daughter, has already been won. You are to breathe life into it. Give voice to it. Enforce it. Do you understand?”

“I do.”

“I am with you even as you war. I am with you always.”
