WHAT EVERY WARRIOR NEEDS TO HEAR

“Every boy, in his journey to become a man, takes an arrow in the center of his heart, in the place of his strength. Because the wound is rarely discussed and even more rarely healed, every man carries a wound. And the wound is nearly always given by his father.” —John Eldredge, Wild at Heart  

… “Absalom may go to his own house, but he must never come into my presence.” So Absalom did not see the king. 2 Samuel 14:24 NLT  

The king was overcome with emotion. He went up to the room over the gateway and burst into tears. And as he went, he cried, “O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you! O Absalom, my son, my son.”       2 Samuel 18:33 NLT  

Three Things Every Warrior Needs to Hear 

As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:16-17 NIV 

I BELIEVE IN YOU.  

I’M PROUD OF YOU.  

I’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.
