Rise Up!

Grief comes to overwhelm,
but God has overcome!

Grief comes to bring despair,
but God rushes in with hope!

Grief reminds you of what you lost,
but God reminds you of all you have in Him!

Grief comes to stifle,
but God comes to release you into new life!

Grief will come out of nowhere and knock the breath out of you, 
but God will breath His life into your aching soul!

If we will allow God, He will carry you through the darkest and loneliest days and nights.
He will redefine your future with hope and promises to prosper.

So as we learn to ride the emotions that come, embrace them, feel them, and then we will hear the Holy Spirt say, “Rise!”

Rise up in all of God’s plans!
Rise up and look the future fully in the face and believe it will be good!
Rise up in full assurance that God is divinely orchestrating each step then take that next right step.
Rise up in strength, faith, and courage in the unknown.

Rise up and decide that you will lean into God’s strength and power and fulfill your divine destiny.

Rise up!
