Enemy Lines

Its comforting to know that when the battle wounds us Jesus allows us to come and rest in His arms as we heal. He doesn't ask us to be strong and keep fighting despite the pain, He allows us to stop and rest until the pain subsides. So often our world tells us to ignore the wounds of life and be strong and overcome them yet Jesus draws us in to speak healing truth to our wounds. He has given us every weapon we need to win our battles against the Enemy, and yet when we lose a battle there is no criticism for how we fought only words of wisdom as to how to better fight next time. I look forward with such joy when Jesus returns to throw the Enemy into the depths of hell, lock the gate and throw away the key(and there is no spare for this key).

It's also comforting to have a husband that will reflect Jesus' arms.
