WHEN LIFE HURTS.

What do you do when your battle chooses you what do you do when something shows up on your doorstep that you did not directly cause choose or anticipate life is not always easy some of you today you're here and you're going through the toughest season of your life there will be seasons where we will suffer there will be seasons of real pain and the question is how will you respond in those moments life is hard sometimes easy it's not an option but it's worth fighting is worth believing it's worth giving yourself a chance is worth mustering yourself upstanding up inside yourself, it's worth fighting relentlessly never giving up it's worth it you can do it you can do it there are problems that we go through that cause stress worry anxiety and fear but you might be in the battle of your life,

I want to encourage you it's not about what's happening around you it's always about what's happening inside of you just because you feel afraid doesn't mean you have to be afraid just because you feel discouraged doesn't mean you have to be discouraged just because you have fear doesn't mean fear has to have you the sentence out of your mouth is  a story that you are putting out I'm not gonna make it I quit let's get a divorce business is never coming back we've lost too many people I've made too many mistakes I'm a failure nobody can help me I've done too many bad things I don't know what's coming out of your mouth but it's a death sentence and as you continue to confess it and as you continue to declare it well don't be surprised when it becomes true in your life we have to make sure that whenever i feel when I think of a death sentence I must speak a life sentence oh I'm feeling the sentence of death I'm feeling the thoughts of anxiety I'm feeling the thoughts that I'm done i feel like I've been used and it hurts and it's difficult but when that happens I start speaking out a life sentence no, I'm just gonna keep showing up no I'm a get back up the righteous man he falls seven times but he gets back up never give up never give in because skill can't get you past certain things quickness agility can't give you guys mental toughness pain ain't permanent your pain ain't permanent you can get through this you're bigger then your pain you're better than that come on you need to remember this is not the first time you cried this is not the first time you were short of breath this is not the first time you didn't see a weight clear this is not the first the time you were hurt this is not the first time your heart was broken this is not the first time you didn't have enough money this is not the first diagnosis that came up from behind I'm gonna live to tell the story this too shall pass I will remain I'm not gonna quit every one of my burdens there's a blessing on the inside of it if you don't quit you will win baby you're gonna work through this you're gonna get up you're gonna get dressed you're gonna get out and you're gonna do what you've been called to do you're gonna be what you call me and you don't prove that everybody that tried to break you everybody trying to stop you everybody tried to kill your dream you gonna prove all of them wrong just keep coming back if you got nothing left to give just show back up Cassel's life man it's just showing up and I'm telling you right now don't give up I'm telling you right now don't get in getting through it and if you can get through if you can work through your pain I'm guaranteeing you on the other side is a reward pain is not permanent pain is temporary.
