I DECLARE...

Philippians 3:12-14 New International Version (NIV)

12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: 

Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.**

                                                                                                                                                                           

I declare that my memory is a canvas of bright and radiant colors and so I refuse to let the enemy paint on the canvas of my memory.**

2 Samuel 12:22-23

22-23 “While the child was alive,” he said, “I fasted and wept, thinking God might have mercy on me and the child would live. But now that he’s dead, why fast? Can I bring him back now? I can go to him, but he can’t come to me.”

After a loss, whether in death of a loved one, death of a relationship, or death of a job, career, etc., grieving and hurting will be guaranteed.  However, there will come a time when it is time to get up, dust yourself off, place the memories in your heart and move on. Otherwise, you could find yourself losing more than you should.  So, as hard as it may be, take one step forward today; tomorrow, take two - before you know it, your loss will turn into treasured memories, learning lessons, and miracles that thrust you into blessings that take you places you've only once dreamed about.
