His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Like Dorothy’s red shoes 👠 we always possess everything we need to take us back home.

Even when we find ourselves off course and in foreign lands, the power of God equips us for a safe return when we cry for His help.

He who called you by His glory and goodness will never leave you nor forsake you powerless and alone.

Make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness.
For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭6‬, ‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Peter lists for us a few of those things that give us wings for our return.

Each is an added value to the former like building blocks of a stable foundation and secure structure that reaches ever upwards.

Faith, goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance and godliness are markers along the path we choose when what we need and desire most is a critical redirect to get us back on course.

There’s no place like home when it’s back into our Father’s arms.
