We
have all heard the saying, “I’ve fallen but I can’t get up!” The person could
not stand up by their own power. They were crying out for help and assistance
to get them back on their feet again. We have a choice; to get up with God’s
forgiveness, healing, promises and direction - or stay down; broken,
hopeless, and lost.
Paul writes in Philippians 4: “I have learned
to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know
what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any
and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in
want. I can do all this through
him who gives me strength.”
Victory
comes when you let go of the past so you can look forward to the future. It is
only by His grace that you can truly forget what has been done to you. You have
to say: “God, give me the grace” - To let go of my past - To forgive what has
happened to me - That when I mess up – I can Get Up!
Christ will give you strength – Amen?
