How Strong Are You?

Do you want the truth? Or something beautiful?

When faced with life’s challenges, how strong are you?  When problem after problem presents itself,
how strong are you?  In times of trouble,
trials, and tribulation, how strong are you? 
When there are more bills to pay than there is money to spend, how
strong are you?  When no one’s around and
you’re all by yourself, HOW STRONG ARE YOU?

Many of you are struggling with life…   You’re
feeling weak because everywhere you go, trouble seems to follow you.  Home is a wreck, work is a mess, and when you
go to church for help, you find there’s a long line of people with issues ahead
of you.   Now you’re alone to deal with life and the
facades of “strength” are gone, it’s “YOU” you’re dealing with, so those lies
(facades, mask) holds no value …

 At work you put on
the happy face, yet you’re screaming inside. 
At home you put on the conquer face, yet you’re screaming inside.  At church you put on the worshipper face, yet
you’re screaming inside.  You’re tired of
the screaming, feeling weak, and you want the noise (problems) to go away…   So you answer to the question “How Strong Are
You?” is…. I’M NOT..

The truth is…  You’re
as strong or weak as you think you are…  Your
thoughts hold the power to determine your status….  Right now at this very moment, regardless to
what you’re faced with, you can choose whether or not you will be the “VICTOR”
or the “victim”.  Thoughts of defeat will
get you nowhere…  Thoughts of conquer;
will get you to the place in which you should be….  Remember the scripture you’ve quoted a
thousand times “So a man thinketh, so is he”. 
If you’re thinking thoughts of weakness, you’re going to be weak and
vulnerable.  If you’re thinking thoughts
of strength, you may not conquer all your problems, but you’ll at least feel
better while fighting them.   God is the source of your strength for He
said, “ in your weakness, I am made strong”….  
Try reading 2 Corinthians 12:9, and start rejoicing and boasting in your
weakness, because in doing this the POWER of Christ is resting on you…
