But you, man of God, flee from all this [the love of money], and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.  Fight the good fight of the faith.  Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

– 1 Timothy 6:11-12

Does your life feel like a constant fight?  In this world you are finding it more and more difficult to live in complete pursuit of righteousness, godliness, faith, endurance and gentleness!  It seems like everything in this world has become entirely corrupted… so much so that you can barely stand to go out your front door!  You consistently feel the daunting battle between remaining in this world and still remaining in Jesus (Yeshua)!  You wonder how anyone is able to do it!  Well, just know that you are not alone!  Jesus (Yeshua) calls on us to continue to fight this good fight of Faith in him even when things all around us are growing ever-increasingly darker!  And that can only mean one thing… that you, as a child of the living God (with the Holy Spirit living inside you), are Shining BRIGHTER!  You are shining like a Bright light in this dark world, pointing everyone you meet to Jesus (Yeshua)!  Do you see how important you are?!!  As long as you are here on this earth, you are restraining the darkness from prevailing!  As long as you are here, you are pushing back the dark!  As long as you are here, you are restraining utter chaos from ensuing!  Now just imagine how things would be without you?!!  So today I encourage you to take FIRM hold of this eternal life that you have been called to and keep fighting this good fight for Jesus (Yeshua)!
