If there's one thing we have learned it's that life is too short to
trudge through it depressed and defeated. No matter what has come against you
or what is causing you to slip and fall, no matter who or what is trying to
push you down, its time for you to get up on the inside if you're ever going to
live the life God has promised when He created you. And friend, there simply is no reason under the sun why you can't.
If you want to give your enemy a nervous breakdown, learn to keep a good
attitude even when the bottom drops out! Learn to be happy even when things
don't go your way. When many people face adversity, they allow their doubt to
cloud their determination, thus weakening their faith. They don't persevere;
they don't keep a good attitude. Ironically, because their spirits are not
right, they remain in bad situations longer than necessary.
Medical science tells us that people with a determined, feisty spirit get well
quicker than people who are prone to be negative and discouraged. That's
because God made us to be determined. We were not created to live in depression
and defeat. A negative spirit dries up your energy; it weakens your immune
system. Many people are living with physical ailments and emotional bondage's
because they are not standing up on the inside.
Get rid of the mind-set that's saying you can't do it; you can't be happy; you
have too much to overcome. Those are all lies from the enemy. Learn to tap into
the can-do power that God has placed inside you. Stand strong and fight the
good fight of faith and soon you will see that God's promise is REAL.

Lord, I can never stop praising you
for the new life you have given me. I will not be discouraged, down nor
defeated, but I will give you honor for I know that in every area of my life
you have rescued me to be all that you created me to be. I will walk each day
as a testimony to your goodness and grace and expect to be yet another
opportunity to bless another. In Jesus name. Amen.
