Forward unto dawn.

Fact: I can and will very likely be hurt by the very people I serve in the Kingdom of God.

Truth: The Kingdom of God is not for the here and now, but lasts for all eternity. 

Truth: I serve because I am not for the here and now, but I am carving out my story for all eternity.

Truth: My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, appointed me to this place, this position, and this hour because He knows I can bear fruit here.

Truth: Spiritual fruit find their embodiment in the hearts and minds of the people whose lives I touch daily.

Therefore, press forward. Forward unto dawn.
