Don't Give Up Now

Sometimes Life brings issues
that at that moment you think:
"That's it - I give up"
I am here to share a my version
of one of my favorite Gospel songs:
"You can't give up Now, I don't
believe He's brought you this far
for you to give up now. No-one
said the road would be Easy,
can't you see you've come to far
to Give Up Now!"
By experience I can share these
Words with confidence & add
a few uplifting words too.
Instead of looking at the down
hill slide of the situation try
"LOOKING UP"  It is the
experiences we have daily that
create who we are.
So, Take a Deep Breath &
 as my dear friend says,
"Choose Good Things"
This means not reacting out of
the immediate emotion, slow your
roll & look at your perception
of what has come your way.
Many of what we view as
downers in life turn out to be exactly
what opened a door to something better.
Like the loss of who you thought
was the love of your life.
Years later you find out that fella
or lady didn't have your best
interest at heart. Maybe they were
a user, abuser, or just plain not
equally yoked.
Wheew, see the blessing there, if
you insisted on hanging in there
you would miss your real match
& your plate would have become
full of misery instead of Joy. 
So before you get all aborbed in
the Debbie downer outlook...
take a deep breath & ask yourself,
"what am I to GAIN from this?"
God says, "ALL things work to the
good" the rest of that verse is clear
"when He (Good) is sought in that thing."
ALL things have a negative & a positive.
It is through our Free Will choice
we can balance out the two, which
takes us on the smoother road of
Moderation...what I call the road of
"Somewhere in Between"
I have learned living in "emotions"
generally results in Extremism & extreme
choices on the Low Road or the High
Road seldom produce good fruit.

Know this: When one door closes
God always always provides another
Door to open...
So, don't give up! Seek & Open New doors!
