5 Minute Friday: Fight

It’s called 5 Minute Friday’s.

It’s a group of writers, who after receiving a word prompt, have 5 minutes to write. Lisa-Jo Baker challenges us to write for 5 minutes with no grammar rules, no editing, just set the timer and Go! Want to join us? Find out how, {here}.

Here I….

Go!

FIGHT:

I can’t get it out of my head.

Vernon Brewer spoke the words and they ring in my heart.

Echoing truths I’ve long forgotten.

“Impact the world by fighting the battles that are on God’s heart.”

What a loaded statement.

I’ve fought for my rights.

For my wants.

For my desires.

I’ve fought for my values.

For my agenda.

For my dreams.

For my selfish pursuits.

But what about fighting the battles on God’s heart?

What would that look like?

What would I have to face?

What more would I have to endure?

What does this type of courage,

this type of bravery look like?

I was born a fighter.

It’s in me.

Perhaps, these words are just the echoes of the calling placed into my soul

long before I ever figured it out.

I’m a fighter.

And so, here I am.

Enlisted.

To use what God’s given me

In whatever format it pleases Him…

and I join the rank of the many

brave

 courageous

audacious believers

who fight the battles that are on God’s heart!

Stop!
