Strength is Earned, Never Given.
Nov 15, 2024
This post is just that. The title. Experience and strength in anything is always earned.
Life will hit you hard, and I mean hard. God allows this for you to be able to handle the weight of what is to come.
Remind yourself that the strength you got hitting the gym came through the hours you put in. That was earned. Any strength you have in you came through pain and suffering.
Remind yourself that you are only this far in life because you earned that strength to handle another day. No one can take that from you.
When you feel you cannot go another day, remind yourself quickly you made it to right now. How ever long that is, however old you are—you made it. You have all that experience and strength to back you. A full forged force.
You have all those years of strength to boast. When you feel the sadness, the doubts, the regrets seeping in, you patch that breach. You patch it with the remembrance of the integrity and strength you have forged to fight another day. Fix what needs to be fixed and keep moving forward if you want to thrive.
One of the greatest tactics of satan is to convince you that you are powerless. Because the moment you realize that you are more than a conqueror, it is game over for anything that stands in your way.
Stay frosty and always hold the line.
