GET UP!!!!

Hey family, Today has been a crazy day. I was feeling kinda down because my dad had to leave. One of my girls heard some news that she really didn’t want to hear. Just spoke to one of our new converts and he was feeling really down and lonely….. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH…I am moved to send out an encouraging word to the ones who feel like they have been simply buried underneath their circumstances and feel like everyone has left them for dead. You know how it is sometimes. When things go sour in your life, folks treat you like you have the plague. SOMETIMES EVEN YOUR OWN FAMILY MEMBERS WILL DO IT. I was rereading about Lazarus. When Jesus arrived on the scene he had been dead long enough that his body had started to decompose. His own sister seemed to not want to be near him at that point because she spoke against them rolling away the stone of his burial place because his body stunk. His situation was considered to be a dead issue or a done deal. As folks kept trying to persuade Jesus that all was lost, he wept and also groaned in disappointment. As long as HE is on the scene we ought to know that no issue is a dead issue. Jesus spoke over Lazarus and life came back into his body. Here is what I have for you. Things may seem dark and dismal. Everyone may see your situation as a dead issue. They may be treating you like you have the plague but don’t you fall for that. No matter how much it stinks, Christ will go beyond that. No matter how far underneath you may find yourself buried in your circumstance, it is not too late. You are not finished yet! It is not over! Don’t just die there… BREAK OUT! Can you hear HIM saying? GET UP!
