Resiliency comes not from a path that is easy breezy, but by going through the valley.
Bouncing back from that situation that left you in ‘Pause’
Bouncing back from that encounter that left you wrapped in gauze
Bouncing back from those words that cut so deep
Bouncing back from the guilt and shame of when you decided to creep
That relationship that didn’t work out, that marriage that ended in divorce
That job that quit you, all of these things can throw you off course
That relationship that drained the life out of you, that marriage that you fought to keep
That job that no matter how much time and energy you invest, life from you continues to seep
How do you bounce back from such life occurrences?
How do you safely and successfully prevent such well-being recurrences?
How do you say “No” as the complete sentence that it is without the guilt?
How do you take all of these life lessons and create a beautiful blueprint of a quilt?
You recognize who you are and who you are created to be
You understand the full meaning of the royal priesthood, God predestined for thee
You remind with affirmations from the great I AM Himself
I AM confident, I AM courageous, I AM the lender – grab the book of LIFE off the shelf
You recognize affirmations come from the Holy Bible and are complete on their own
You believe in yourself like God believes in you, and you set your mind to stay in that I AM zone
Not crossing over to arrogance, and not becoming braggadocios
But embracing the new insight and discernment that God hands out in Holy doses
You practice self- care and allow yourself to grieve the relationship, job, or season
You embrace the moment and the lessons for what they are, even if you don’t have the reason
You, as Paul stated become content with whatever state God has you in
For you know every season, low point, and negative thing has and expiration date where it must end
You hold tight to the things you know you know
You remind yourself daily what you know you know in order to grow
Then you walk with your head held up knowing you are not alone
And you give it all over to God daily, even if you can’t find the words, In Jesus’ Name, groan
Remember that nothing is happening that God doesn’t already know about
He even knew you would forget who you are in him, whine, cry, and pout
So, once you get it out of your system and you come back to your senses
Know that God is still God and until the appointed time, the lessons and season commences
Put it in perspective, and bouncing back doesn’t become as hard
God knew before hand that you would be released from your job
Seek Him for direction and guidance on the new position or on following your lifelong dream
And embrace the newness like a child who is excited about going to a new park they have never seen
Keep it in perspective, and bouncing back proves your resiliency
How bouncing back with more power, courage, and assurance, was God’s plan of brilliancy
How growth in discernment, knowledge of key skills, and peace is now such a second nature
That the next storm, tornado, or hurricane, you easily sense and recognize the nudge from our Savior
Bouncing back from that situation now takes just a moment for you to strategically plot your course
Bouncing back from that encounter now takes a quick prayer to remind of self-control that is Godly endorsed
Bouncing back from words now takes a smile and a praise which confirms of being emotionally sound
Bouncing back no longer takes forever because of the Godly lessons, tips, and techniques that help you come around
We are experiencing all kinds of trouble, but we aren’t crushed. We are confused, but we aren’t depressed. We are harassed, but we aren’t abandoned. We are knocked down, but we aren’t knocked out. We always carry Jesus’ death around in our bodies so that Jesus’ life can also be seen in our bodies. ~2 Corinthians 4:8-10 (CEB)
