You can get up from the floor.

“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” (2 Corinthians 4 v 8-9)

• Are surrounded by problems but somehow it is more than possible that you are not overwhelmed by them.
• Are questioning many things and are perhaps confused by what has happened to you; but you are not feeling hopeless.
• Are facing rejection, opposition, the critics are pressing in; and yet you know you are not alone.
• Are on the ground having fallen but you continue to have the capacity to get up again

How is this even possible? This paradox of situation. It is possible because within you is a resilience given by God to keep going, to keep rising again.

You just won’t stay down nor give up. You are a ‘but not’ person. Many will focus on being hard pressed, perpl0065ed, persecuted and struck down. But not you. You can always see that it could be worse. Today whatever the situation you walk into it will be the same for you. You are a person that gets up from the floor. Right?
