I was lost in this gray world, then found myself in the middle of the ocean.
We can wander so long, lost in this world. Everyone has a story of how they found God. Through these entries, I was a dead soul at first. Even though I was alive, I was dead inside. My soul was in pain. Then, through calling God for help at my worst, I found my true purpose beyond serving my country. I didn't serve the One who created it. We speak of liberty as red, white, and blue. True liberty is following the almighty Father in heaven.
You who read this, I am calling you to seek beyond what you see and feel in this gray, mundane world and find liberation. You think about it late at night, wondering, "What is my purpose?" while in the big gray machine the devil has you in, feeling the nine-to-five and too tired, or all these attacks the enemy sends. It's time to wake up. True freedom is there.
As you read through Letters to God in a Gray World, I hope you can connect, regardless of the branch or if you're a civilian. Your journey is a trial of fire, waiting to start, or you're on it and need a reminder to reignite that passion for the Lord. May you have a rewarding and fruitful journey in this trial of fire in this gray world and bear good fruit. Jesus is always knocking. Just answer.
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11)
Beyond this, reflect on your journey not as an ending but as an ever-evolving path. Trust that each challenge you face is a stepping stone to a higher understanding and a greater connection with your purpose. Seek moments of gratitude and embrace the struggle as part of the divine plan.
So will you answer His call and find your true purpose?
