Whew! We’ve gotta stay up there. I know it’s a fight trying to arise, but it will be well worth the effort. The strain in the line is too great, there is a possibility of it snapping being so waited with hostility . The thing is to fight your way up by pressing with everything in into the character of Christ. Modeling yourself after kindness, being good in the midst of the bitter winds. The cross that we carry in this life is to conform into the image of living love. Then above the fray we will be able to stay.
Psalms 16:6-8
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
