Time to check in again and post a random thought. When you make the (correct) decision to follow Jesus and make Him the focal point, there are without a doubt things in this world (and in the spiritual world) that will try to break you away from that decision. An area that I seem to get "attacked"a lot is in my dreams. An example of this happened last night. I've been married for over 35 years to the most amazing girl. I actually dreamed we were married before I officially started to pursue her. We were married a little over 6 months after meeting and have been on this incredible journey ever since. She is still beautiful inside and out. She's clearly not going anywhere else and neither am I and yet I will have dreams from time to time where she appears to have left our marriage or says/doesn something that hurts me to the core. I awake frustrated and quickly need to refocus my heart and thoughts to the One who put us together in the first place. I use this example to reinforce that the enemy will use every tool at hand to discourage us and challenge our commitment to God by getting our eyes on the present world and not on my future, which is in heaven. It's time in the Word and talking to God that always seems to help clear my head and heart. When I see Jesus face to face, none of this stuff will matter and I need to remember that. God is good all the time. MLT
