For a saved person with eternity to look forward to, I lived in misery, oblivious to God's design concerning the Christian's life. I floundered,defeated, angry, and bitter. Victory's in heaven, with my crown. Until then, survival mode. Wrong thinking! The Kingdom is central to Jesus' teachings, and I missed it. I'm also seated in Heavenly Realms, but abstractly, right? Like "I'll be home for Christmas, but only in my dreams". The magnitude of Christ's accomplishments on the Cross are unfathomable. Kingdom Living allows God to turn injured into exquisite. It's victory or defeat. You choose.
