So often what we see, the external things, physical things the byproducts of what could be seen is how we perceive who we are, how much we matter, what we are worth. We even allow it to effect how we perceive God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit.  God is good when all is well, when all is as we think it should be, but what about when things are tough, when the outcome isn't quite what we expected.  When you have had a rough, day, month, year, maybe even life.  What then....do you still believe God loves you?  That He is good? That He is with you?  That His word is truth?  Do you believe when everything around you is telling you the exact opposite.  When you feel alone and can't hear Him or feel His presence, do you trust that He has not forsaken you?
 
When we focus on the temporary external, physical things, it makes it almost impossible to see anything else.  We surrender our feelings and our thoughts to be consumed to that which is seen.  In essence we walk in defeat, because of the evidence we brought forward in the case we made against ourselves.
 
Our Heavenly Father is calling us to go beneath the surface, to fight beyond all that is seen and meet Him in the unseen.  To take our eyes off of the temporary and fix our eyes on eternity with Him.  There is so much to be revealed in the unseen.  In fact, everything we see is the manifestation of something that was once unseen. The Holy Spirit longs to strengthen our inner beings...to open our spiritual eyes, so that we may be able to comprehend what is the length and width, height and depth of God's love. 

Will you join us in "The Beautiful Fight" to go beyond the exterior looking interior, beyond the seen into the unseen, beyond the temporary and into the eternal? 

Love & Blessings,
