Love Them Anyways

There will always be people in our lives who set out to hurt us... learning how to look past our pain to love them anyways... releases us from harboring additional grief... it sets us free to continue to love them and others freely...

For those who have caused you pain......

Love them for the time they gave you...

Love them for the lessons they taught you...

Love them for the strength they've renewed in you...

It is because of them that you have learned to get up after every fall and move forward... never giving up...

Love them anyways

Rise for the Win

There are various ways we tend to measure strength...
Some measure through the physical... Or through the mental...
While others may measure through the emotional state of being...

Regardless of how it comes to us... It never comes to us easily...
Strength is not something that is developed from nothing...
It can only be developed through struggles,... conflict or pain...

It is built upon a weakness that needs strengthening...
A level of stagnancy that needs to be ignited... Or a mode of complacency which yearns for excitement...

Strength is celebrated through the toughest moments in life when we feel alone... defeated... Or defenseless... 
It is a renewed disposition that calls out our name in triumph... 
Letting the world know that we were down for the count but we rose for the win...

The Strength Behind a Single Teardrop

The strength behind a single tear drop is often enough to lift a person from a pain so deep that words alone can't reach... 

the release... succumbing our vulnerable heart and mind to the onset of this downpour...

freeing ourselves from harboring such pain... allowing the flow to begin weakening our knees dropping us to the floor in prayer... 

then it happens... we stop... we stand... wiping away the original feeling of weakness and defeat...

we are strengthened and renewed to move forward...

The strength behind a single teardrop...
