When I began my youth ministry calling, it was really difficult at times to stay strong spiritually. I remember during late nights sitting in my room or car and meditating on a scripture verse out of 2 Timothy 2:3, “Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.” As a result, the following was born from the cry of my heart, acknowledgment of my mind and faith of my soul. Many times after, I glanced back at this passage as encouragement to stay strong in faith.

I am the soldier of Christ!

He has put me on this earth for a purpose. A purpose that is greater than life it self. My Father has trained me throughout my life. Carved a perfect soldier for His army. He has made me a stronger in faith thats solid as a rock. Therefore, I shall not be shaken! I shall not be weaken in my faith by attacks that enemy brings upon me!
