How To Get Up From Being Torn Down

Hello Family & Friends,

The best way to get up from being torn down is to first, keep praying.  We do not know the motivation of others, why they say or do the things that may be hurtful, but, there has to be a point where their motivation is not your focus.  You must begin to stop asking yourself why is this person trying to harm me, why are they trying to tear me down, why have I been the focus of their negative attention.  Don't ask those questions anymore, because they do not hold any real or rational answer for you.  The only thing that you can do is realize that you have to begin to build.  You must build mental and emotional strength to be able to see them small as they are, you must build spiritual strength to see how big God really is and to understand that there is no one on this earth or anywhere that can mess with you when you show yourself strong.  The way to show  yourself strong is to take God with you everywhere and include him in on what you do.  Many times, others will try to bring you down, because they see you as prey and think that they can, but you rise up against it and step all over their plan.

When people have been wounded and belittled it certainly can have an affect, but everyday, tell yourself that you are strong and keep asking God for more and more strength. He will show up in you and others will see your strength and will begin to wonder why they can no longer affect you.  Stop being in fear of people that beat their chest and act so fierce and big, it is just a puff of smoke that they are blowing.  No one can stand against the strength that God gives you, so, take courage and make up your mind that you are stronger and will no longer be in fear of anyone and they can not tear down what God has built up.
