Long post warning: What if in tough times your attitude was such that you knew this was a growing period in your life and not that you are doomed? This is how I felt last year... and now look at the turnaround... it was hard to keep a good attitude and at times I did not... but the overall theme was to #NEVERGIVEUP and we are rising from the ashes. This morning I saw this from Joel Osteen and thought perhaps someone out there going through a struggle may need to be armed with this wisdom: We all face difficulties and challenges in life. But you have to remember, as a believer in Jesus, you have the life-giving seed of Almighty God on the inside of you. When you go through disappointments or tough times, you may feel like you’ve been buried. You may feel like you’re in a dark, lonely place. You may feel like it’s the end; but in reality, it’s only the beginning. The fact is, you haven’t been buried; you have been planted. That means you’re coming back. And not only are you coming back, but you’re coming back in increase, better and stronger than before! In those tough times, you’ve got to draw the line in the sand. Make a declaration, “This difficulty is not going to bury me. This loss, this disappointment, this injustice is not going to cause me to give up on my dreams. I refuse to live in self-pity. I know I am a seed. That means I cannot be buried. I can only be planted. I may be down, but it’s only temporary. I know I’m not only coming back, I’m coming back even better than I was before!” Whatever your belief is - is that not such a powerful way to think!!!!???
