I have some good news! I’m afraid that my previous letters may have come across with a touch of despair. I don’t mean to complain. Sometimes I just have to put my feelings on paper, but I realize they might not be the best letters for my family to read.
But not this week. I have been eager to put my pen to paper and express to you the good news we have received. Peace is within reach. I cannot speak for what the enemy will do, but I am at complete peace, as are the other soldiers in our unit. We know that we are doing what we are supposed to do, and we are at peace with our Commander.
The battle is still raging on, but it is different. Somehow we all know everything will turn out alright. The enemy is still trying his same old tricks, but they have not been as effective as of late. His fiery arrows are extinguished as soon as we raise our shields.
Individually our shields provide defense, but when we all band together in formation our shields form an impenetrable wall. The more we work together, the more we see what we are capable of with this armor. We all have faith that everything is going to turn out well for us.
Things are really improving here. I’ll write again soon. I need to get my shoes on and get back out to the battle.
“And, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.”
Ephesians 6:15
Soldier in God’s army, we must be ready at all times to share the gospel with anyone who needs to hear it. The unsaved world is not at peace with God, but the gospel—the good news—is that God makes this peace available. If you are not able to share your faith, you are barefoot on the battlefield. We need you to put your shoes on and join us in this fight.
