Good For You!
You have been getting up even when you didn’t feel like it.
You continue to do the right thing even though you may not get the credit or feel unappreciated.
You handle your responsibilities even though it gets difficult at times.
You get out of the bed even though you want to pull the covers over your head.
You held your tongue and controlled your temper even though you had some "choice" words for that person who disrespected or hurt you.
You spoke up even though you took the risk of criticism or rejection.
You finished what you started.
You said “no” even though your flesh wanted to say “yes.”
You continue to take care of your family and responsibilities even though you get weary.
You are taking better care of yourself and overcoming old hurts and habits.
You continue to stay focused on your values and goals even though you are surrounded by distractions and temptation.
You continue to show up for work even though you don’t enjoy it.
You tithe and help others even though you sometimes wonder if there is enough left for your needs.
You’re saying “yes” to life even though you’ve had some losses and setbacks.
You know the Lord is the source of your strength and the strength of your life.
You’re not allowing others to defeat, define or discourage you.
You may not have all that you want yet --- you may not be living or working where you want to yet -- - you may not be the person you want to be --- but thank God you're not how you used to be.
You're not allowing people or circumstances to defeat, define or discourage you.
Good for you --- your growing is showing!
