It’s never defeat

Instead of a trophy, I carried around a badge of shame. I knew that I had settled for the cards handed to me and had abandoned my purpose….. Instead of staying in the race, I had “abandoned ship” and was hiding from the “real me.”

In due time, God sent the right people to call me out of the darkness and speak life to my waning soul. With their help, I was able to pick myself back up and join the race again.

Who do you currently have in your corner? Who is helping you rise up to be all that God created you to be?

  1. It is important to be surrounded by people who will not pull you down. Some of my family members encourage me. But most of my encouragement comes from time with God and in His Word.
