we all have things that we're believing for dreams that we want to accomplish
problems we're hoping will turn around maybe it's to see our family restored
to lose some weight to break an addiction to start our own business
but sometimes as it goes on month after month even year after year we don't see anything changing
it's easy to get discouraged and think it's never going to happen this is as good as it
gets i'll just learn to live with it we all go through disappointments setbacks loss pain
is a part of life it's easy to get discouraged even bitter think why is this happening to me
sometimes we look at pieces in our lives that don't make sense the key is what we do in our
times of pain pain will change us heartache loss disappointments they don't leave us
the same every painful time even though you don't like it it's developing something in
you that can only be developed in the tough times eventually that will pass you'll get through it
but you will be different in those tough times when you're uncomfortable going through a loss
dealing with an illness you could easily let it overwhelm you
now how the pain changes you is up to you you can come out bitter or you can come out better
you can come out defeated giving up on your dreams or you can come out with a
new passion a new fire excited about the new opportunities in front of you
i may not like it but i'm not a whiner i'm a warrior i know i can handle this
don't complain about the pain without the pain we couldn't reach the fullness of our destinies
sometimes we bring pain on ourselves we make
poor choices get in a relationship we know is not good or maybe get over our head in
our spending now it's painful we're having to deal with the consequences
all of us experience pain my challenge don't just go through it grow through it
that difficulty is an opportunity to get stronger to develop character to gain new confidence
anybody can give up anybody can let it overwhelm you but you know what that's doing wasting your
pain that pain is not there to stop you it's there to prepare you to increase you to develop you
difficulties are a part of life now quit telling yourself you can't take it
you're not weak you are well able eventually the pain will pass you'll give birth to new
strength just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean that it's not going to happen
there will always be forces trying to convince us to settle where we are life
has a way of pushing our dreams down they can become buried under discouragement
buried under past mistakes there are dreams buried under divorce buried under low self-esteem it's
easy to settle for mediocrity even though we have all this potential buried on the inside
what are you remembering the hurt the pain what didn't work out
turn it around and remember your dream have you allowed any dreams to get buried in you
at one time you believed you could do something great you believed you could lead the company in
sales you believed you could break that addiction and it's been a long time had some bad breaks
wasn't all your fault you could easily settle where you are nobody would fault you the
enemy would love to deceive you into burying your dream thinking that it's never going to
work out don't believe those lies it's not too late to become all that you were created to be
every time you remember your dream you're removing some dirt you're digging it back
out the true mark of a champion is even though some dirt gets thrown on your dream
instead of letting it get buried you keep shaking it off you keep moving forward
you wouldn't be having that opposition if you didn't have something great in you
if your dream wasn't alive and on track right on schedule to come to pass you wouldn't have
so many things coming against you that dream is still alive you may have tried a year ago
five years ago or 40 years ago didn't work out nobody was there to help you
go back and try again this is your time this is your moment your destiny is calling out to you
can i tell you your dream is not dead it's just not in season your time is coming promotion is
coming good breaks are coming promises you've been standing on dreams you've been praying about
lack is not your destiny constantly struggling barely getting by is not the end of your story
these light afflictions are for a moment the adversity is temporary the glory is eternal
there are some dreams shut up in you like fire you're going to feel your destiny calling out
may not have happened the first time the loan didn't go through you didn't get chosen for the
part the medical report wasn't good that's okay it's still in you this is your time
this is your moment shake off the doubt shake off the negativity you're at the right place
you're at the right time now all you've got to do is get in the right frame of mind
lord i believe this is my year to get healthy and whole this is my year to meet the people
of my dreams this is my year to go further in my career to step into a new level of my destiny this
is my year to accomplish dreams to break free from this depression this is my year to meet the right
people this is my year to get healthy and home this is your year to see double this is your year
for vindication for restoration for new beginnings now get your mind going in the right direction
