Light in a dark world

"So do not let someone tell you the facts of why something cannot be done. Do not try to convince yourself that you are not strong or are incapable. Stand up for what you believe in and what your divine purpose is. No one deserves to walk through life wandering, being treated like they don't matter, or being tossed around and picked up whenever someone decides to. Find it within you...find God. There, you will find peace, strength, great-grace, hope, unending love, and a happiness that cannot be explained" A dear friend wrote this awhile ago I have read it several times and every time it gets my blood boiling and gets me fired up. We all have a story and every story includes miracles along the way. For many of us our story in itself is a miracle. So many of us feel beat down, tired, worn out and some of us quite frankly are ready to wave the white flag of surrender. I beg you don't.

    We have been given far to much and we are far to skilled to not fight the resistance. Some of us are going to have to dig deeper then others, but we all have hope. In a world that seems so hopeless the simplest and smallest of acts can revive our soul. It seems everywhere you look there is so much brokenness and pain well that is unavoidable. Lean on the rock and build yourself the foundation you need to weather even the toughest of storms. Stand firm in the Truth that God alone is our hope and Jesus is our salvation. Where do we begin? I am in a hole that I cannot see light so surely I cannot climb out of it. Take a step however small it may feel, take a step in the opposite direction of the darkest parts of your life. Step away from the parts of your life that brings only death to your hope and dreams. Bring Joy to others, LOVE on others and often every day your own steps will get easier. We all have so many opportunities to create hope not only in our own life but in others lives...the two usually go hand in hand. Suprise a friend at work with their favorite candy, write someone a hand written note, shoot someone an encouraging text, let someone know why you appreciate them, initiate an hour to spend togethereven if it is a just a walk. All I am saying is we can do this nothing is to small. So today take a step! You are never alone. Today you "fight the resistance".
