Your weekly uplifting message from Authentic Matters

Stand Up On the Inside in 2008.

Life is too short to trudge through it depressed and defeated. No matter what has come against you or what is trying to push you down in life, you need to "keep getting up on the inside".

When many people face adversity they allow their doubts to cloud their determination, thus weakening their faith. They don't perservere. They don't keep the "can-do" attitude and stand up each time they fall.

Ironically, because their spirits are not right, they remain in bad situations or dwell in mediocrity longer than necessary.

If you remind yourself to stand up on the inside each time life brings you down, you will see that your circumstances will change because of your positive attitude and your faith that God is planning something better for you.
