Whatever you’re faced with is a spiritual battle. The issue is not whether you win but whether you are developing the tools to maintain a faith-filled stance through it all. Right dead in the middle of this battle, you might just discover what an indestructible, untouchable, battle-winning, marvelously creative child of God you are!
-- Esther Davis-Thompson

And what a revelation it is to discover that you are an indestructible, untouchable, battle-winning, marvelously creative child of God! You sensed you might be, but it took the valley, storm, and a few midnights to unearth what you knew to be true.

So now that your fabulousness has been confirmed, what will you do with all that energy?

Will you simply box it up and hide it away for fear that you will be required to do more, be more, and give more of yourself and doing such may cause you to fail or look funny? Will you run from it or act counter to it, making people believe it was a once in a lifetime occurrence for you to show such outstanding character? Are you so tired and out of breath from the whittling you received that you’ll just as soon rest on the present accolades, put forth little to no effort to develop and enhance them, and leave your newly interred qualities unnurtured and wide open for detraction and compromise?

Yeah right!

You’re going to allow your true Self, the one polished by adversity and made supple trial and error, to order your steps and carry you to greater heights, the places you didn’t dare put on paper because you thought they were unreachable, even unreasonable. You’re going to allow who you’ve become to rule your interactions with the world and its many people who have yet to realize their own power and potential!

You’re going to let the person you’ve uncovered unlock doors you previously believed barred and off limits, and step boldly into opportunities with confidence and flair only wrought through the lessons learned in a battle. Your newfound sense of Self will lessen the length of your future battles, improve your resiliency skills, and make you less afraid of struggle’s intensity and its unconstructive influence on your person!

You are going to use your indestructible, untouchable, battle-winning, marvelously creative child of God Self to change lives and help others come into their own indestructible, untouchable, battle-winning, marvelously creative child of God Selves. You will unreservedly celebrate your Self daily, noting how strong you’ve become, and incessantly strengthen your Self through constant attention to internal and physical detail. You will allow nothing, absolutely nothing, to dampen your spirit, squash what you worked hard to develop, or turn you around!

That is what you will do.
