The easiest thing to do is fall, it is easy to look around and see how people around us fall every single day. If we compare ourselves to others, what is the reason to stand?
God calls us to complete surrender to Him, to His way, to His love and yet we want to do it our own way, we want to look and see that we are so much better then other people, but again the bar that is set has not been set by others, it has been set by Jesus Christ, who came to die on the cross for our sins. He came, not because He had to, but because that was the only way to bring us grace and victory. We will not find victory in ourselves, we will only find victory in Him. He is the only way to true life, true joy.
Today I call you to stand, to stop comparing where you are with others and look to Jesus for He is the only way. Our victory from our minds is found in Him. When you feel the anger welling up in us about someone or something that is happening, change your perspective and bless the person. When we focus on the problem, the only thing that happens is the problem grows. Focus on the blessing, in the blessing is life and hope, for we are then focusing on God. He is the only answer.
The old ways must pass away, for God is the only way to stand. It is never to late, for He has come to save us from ourselves. He knows our struggles, our pain and He is here to take them away. Focus on Him, for the love for others will change, the love you have for the one you are with will change, because no longer is it about our own, but about God. Isn't it time to stand.
Stand up and be counted, for God has gone before you and is with you.
