Despair, cowers before you.
Discouragement…..well, you done told discouragement to go head and kick rocks, long time ago!
YAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
Look at YOU!! π
You living, you ain’t surviving.
You ain’t letting circumstances, see you sweat. Circumstances are now sweating you!
Take a bow.
Strut your stuff.
Know ye not, beloved, that ALL of Heaven is cheering you on. They sayin’ “Go on ahead, with your bad self!!”.
Know ye not, God and Life, are just swole, with pride, at your TRY, at your precious heart. They are honored to walk alongside you.
Look at you!
You got this!
Yea, you have had to catch your breath a time or two or ten or ten thousand.
No matter.
STILL, YOU STAND!
STILL, YOU LOVE.
STILL, YOU FIGHT.
Celebrate you, beloved. You are NOT your broken pieces. Grief/loss does NOT get the last say, in your life. Victory SHALL be yours.
Who is like you?
NOBODY!
There is only ONE you. Of all the world, in all the land, there is not another, made like you. You are the ONLY one who can do you as well as you do.
Hold up your head, beloveds. Rejoice. You got this. ALL of this. These present circumstances were just meant to help you fly. Eagles soar AGAINST the currents. Sailboats NEED the winds to keep them going. Diamonds are made when pressed. Gold is refined in the fire.
God and Life just making you piles of diamonds and gold, boo. Don’t sweat this small stuff. Yea, even the tough things bow to you. To, your TRY. To, your STANDING. Yea, the enemy don’t know what to do with you.
How can you defeat one who……….REFUSES TO BE DEFEATED!?
