"This world can leave a soul lonely and in despair, but the Christian is never alone - no matter how dark the valley or how fierce the battle! Though we do not see the heavenly host that that surrounds us, they are with us every step of the way." (Thomas Faunce)

From God's servant (our missionary friend) Thomas Faunce
This world can leave a soul lonely and in despair, but the Christian, no matter how dark the valley, no matter how the battle may rage, or the tempest roars, we are never alone. Though we do not see the host of heavens might that surrounds us, the flaming swords of the might of those of Light, they are with us every step of the way.
One thing I have learn all these years stepping out in faith, to go into all the world with His word, His love, that the Holy Spirit sets our feet in the direction we should.
"Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain." (Philippians 2:14-16)
"When we step out in faith go into the very heart of darkness to reach the souls of men, we will face such onslaught from the enemy. As all those who have gone on before us we too will face much adversities. There are those who try to paint a different picture, a bed of ease for us, but not so for the soldiers of Christ, they know the battle the struggles along the way, and they press on to reach the soul of man for Christ. Do not give up!
Go forth even into the valleys of darkness! Shine bright the Light! The labors are few because they want to avoid and deny the difficulties along the way, but this is not the road of those who long to fight the good fight of faith.
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: 'For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.' Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. (Romans 8:35-37 NKJV)
