Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1 KJV)
If I ever write and say that I never get down and depressed
at times, I'll be telling a blatant lie. What I can say though, is that when
ever I'm going through my down moments, I've developed a strategy to
REVIVE MY OPTIMISM and force myself to
NEVER GIVE UP.
Many of my worldwide readers got overly concerned this week
as to whether or not I was OK because the last time I wrote a devotional on
www.hopeisahead.com was Monday past. Contacts from as far away as Philadelphia, Kenya and other countries made
contact to get an update on my well being. I didn't get lazy. I just decided to
take a little break. Thanks for your concern – Thanks for constantly reading
for empowerment.
While wearing one of the talents that God has blessed me
with, I was able to put a smile on a Senior Citizens face having payed a
CompuDoctor’s visit to the home. I was bending down underneath the computer
table dealing with the wires when I heard the gentleman say – Mr. Wallace –
Never Give Up.
Having finished doing that task, I sat on his computer chair
and listened to him talk and inspire me for a considerable amount of time. When
he was finished, I didn’t even charge him a cent because I don’t believe I
could have paid for the wealth of information that he shared.
He said, “Mr. Wallace, I really don’t know how young people
make it in business around here, but DON’T
GIVE UP. I had it very hard
coming up. There were many times I wondered if I had made the right decision
and if I was doing the right thing in life.”
I smiled because I know that that crosses my mind ever so
often with regards to business – not ministry.
He continued, “Things aren’t so bad you know Wallace. It’s
just that in between you’ll always find some patches and hurdles and you have
to know how to deal with them and push on in HOPE. You’ll make it. You can’t
see it, but you’ll make it!”
He told me of his life's struggles. Well at least some of
them. As he spoke, I thanked God for mine because I had not even begun to
experience 1% of what he went through even though things are tough.
The gentleman didn’t brag about where he had reached in
life, but I felt like I was sitting in a mansion. The only thing left to do was
to rise to my feet IF Queen Elizabeth II walked out.
From where he told me he had come from because of his FAITH,
I had to conclude that during the course of his life, he must have had many
cases where he had to just Revive His Optimism, Energy and Hope and move
forward.
As you read this devotional today, you may be feeling like
there is nothing else left on the table for you. You may be feeling heart
broken and depressed. You may just feel like it’s time to give up. DON’T!
During such moments, you have to find some way to stay
HOPEFUL recognizing that that is just what FAITH is -the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1 KJV)
HOPE + MORE HOPE +
MUCH PRAYER + TRUST IN GOD
= SUCCESS, DELIVERANCE, BREAKTHROUGH and
BLESSINGS.
So. . . if you’re feeling down now, if you’re worrying about
something. Declare Your Day! Start speaking positive words over your life.
Start praying and talking to God. Change your mindset. Revive your spirit.
Revive your optimism.
Others would have passed your way before and made it – So too
will YOU with all your FAITH and HOPE in God.
Never Give Up - HOPE IS AHEAD!
