I was exercising on the Wii Fitness board yesterday and the virtual trainer, whom I normally find to be irritating, said, "you're pretty strong, aren't you!"
Funny how the necessary word often comes from unexpected places.
YES, I am strong. I CAN stand against the best curve ball and change-up this life has to offer. And you can too.
But sometimes we forget.
We forget that we have given away some of our power to undeserving things, and that we must reclaim that power and use it wisely.
We forget to use the memories of past triumphs, forget to tap into the equity of those successes.
We forget that everything on this Earth is so temporary. Everything. Except the way we treat people. The hurts others inflict on us will be healed in divine ways. The sadness of death will one day be rejoicing at eternal life. But the love we share with others multiplies itself in our own lives. And abides.
We forget that the Creator if the universe is ready to carry us, prop us up, solve our problems and our hurts in ways that are infinitely more wonderful than we can ever imagine. Just ask...
Short and sweet...and just what I needed to hear today. How about you?
Do you need to hear it?
Love is eternal. Everything else is temporary. EVERYTHING ELSE IS TEMPORARY.
You're pretty strong.
And you have access to One who is infinitely stronger and more wonderful than you dare to think or imagine.
Have a great day, Popeye!
See you tomorrow...Beth

Very powerful post, Beth. Thanks! This statement hit me like a brick: "We forget that we have given away some of our power to undeserving things, and that we must reclaim that power and use it wisely."
I have some reclamation to do!
