I hate holding up exhaustion as a trophy. I’m uncomfortable with the romanticism around high-functioning, fast-talking over-achievement.

I’m not endorsing complacency or relaxing all the time. I love to work hard. But there’s a difference between pouring out and exhausting fatigue. One requires your best and the other is just double-booking yourself.

Waking up and showing up are just as important. Giving your all is as crucial as being all there. I can’t put productivity over being present. I’m celebrating both the work and the will to get there.

His grace is sufficient

We can overcome rejection, abandonment, heartbreak, family troubles, and emotional pain through Jesus Christ who gives us strength. Jesus can free us from heartache. John 8:36 “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” He will never leave us or forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6), even when others abandon us.

Psalm 27:10 “For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord will take me in.”

Psalm 147:3 “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

Psalm 34:18-19 “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.”

“But Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible’” (Matthew 19:26).

The way people treat us sometimes may make us feel unlovable or unloved. But, know that God loves us. He loves us so much that He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, so that we can be with Him in Heaven for eternity (John 3:16). People may not want to spend time with us, but God loves us so much that He wants to spend eternity with us! Praise God for His unfailing love! God will love us always and nothing can make Him stop loving us (Romans 8:38-39).

“I So Hate Consequences” by Relient K

We’ve all been here.

Oftentimes, people get stuck in life because they’ve been hurt or betrayed, and they end up settling where they are. They allow the disappointment to keep them from the divine appointment. Don’t let that be you! Don’t let what somebody did or didn’t do for you be an excuse to live sour. Don’t let a bad break, a divorce, a betrayal or a bad childhood cause you to settle where you are. Move forward and God will pay you back. Move forward and God will vindicate you. Move forward and you’ll come into a new beginning.

Nothing that has happened to you is a surprise to God. The loss of that loved one didn’t catch God off guard. The business that didn’t make it, the relationship that didn’t work out did not stop God’s plan for your life. Now, the real question is: are you going to get stuck, fall into self-pity, become bitter, let the past poison your future? Or, are you going to shake it off and move forward knowing that your best days are still up ahead?

Sometimes that sudden boost of confidence or euphoria or peace is because someone just prayed for you. You’re on someone’s mind. Friends have fasted and written your name down and spoke good intent over you. It’s crazy to think we can tap into the tissue of something greater than ourselves, lending our hearts for strength and healing. Being there is most important, but prayer is for when you can’t. It takes a moment. It means a life.

Christianity is not just cute hillsong united lyrics. Christianity is not just a bible verse in your Instagram bio. Christianity is not just following God only when you feel like it. Christianity is dying to yourself. It is following God blindly and throwing away worldly things that tempt you. It’s being so different from everyone else that you are an alien to the world. It’s throwing your life into Gods hands and kneeling at his feet, no matter how hard it gets. It is living the life God calls you to in the Bible. Christianity is waking each morning and knowing that God loves you, and the way to love him back is to live for him.
