Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 26 Oct 2007

Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 26 Oct 2007

Question: How flexible are you to be able to bouncing back from mistakes and failure? Bouncing back is the ability to move on and not dwell on the past. Bouncing back is the ability to KEEP picking yourself up and not give up. Bouncing back is the ability to not let the world judge you and stop you from fulfilling your goal, your destiny, the plans God has for you. Bouncing back is the ability to look at failure, to look at mistakes and rise to the challenge.

We fail, we lose, we make mistakes, but we never give up, we never stop, and most of all we don’t let the world define us. Imagine, you are one in 6 billion, created uniquely by God to the finest detail. Your finger print unique, the number of hairs on your head unique, why in the world would we think that our Creator would create us to the finest detail and leave us to die this painful death, struggle, and fail? What a LIE!!!

John Maxwell, someone I look up to in my life wrote this in one of his many leadership books. 1) The devil is not as powerful as God, he can’t destroy us. 2) God loves us so much that He won’t destroy us. 3) So the only ONE who can let you think you are useless, a failure, a mistake, IS OURSELVES.

I pray and hope that we would be encouraged today, to turn to God, bounce back, and don’t give up from whatever we are facing in life today.

Psalm 18:16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.

Psalm 18:35 You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great.

Jeremiah 17:8 He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. IT DOES NOT FEAR WHEN HEAT COMES; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
