Along your builders journey there will be real adversity. You will create a following for awhile. You will gain popularity and power. You will taste success. You will encounter real danger. You will fall. You will taste defeat. You will cry out for help and support of true friends. Crickets is all you will hear. No one will come to your rescue. You will feel like you’ve been abandoned.
You will feel ALONE.
Immaculee Ilibagiza would agree completely. She witnessed first hand her strong father, surrounded by 10,000 “followers” gathered in the front yard, then suddenly ALONE as he rushed the enemy with nothing but a spear. She witnessed it personally when laying in a ‘3 by 4’ bathroom with 7 other women and hearing her best friend, just outside the window, denying she knew her and wanting her dead. Every great builder will experience the desert.This is WHY we build strength now. This is why we cultivate our interior life. Because, one day you and I will be ALONE. The question is a simple one.
Will we stand ALONE or will we join the ruling majority?
Immacullee is STANDING with a huge following today. Her popularity as an author and speaker is gaining her many fans. She stood ALONE. She will again.
Are you preparing your inner life for the struggle ahead?
Where does your strength reside?
What is it’s source?
How reliable is it’s POWER?
Are you able to spend time with yourself….alone?
Slow down and reflect
