"Rise and Praise"

Blessings Heavenly Father!

With the same Resurrection Power that rose Christ from the dead, I too have something to get up from. The death of my circumstances, the deceit of the enemy, the lies that try to define me, the shame of a past that has nothing to do with my future, and the thoughts of inadequacy that attempt to plague my human residency. However, I "Rise and Praise" You for the Glory that IS You, having been cut from Your Fabric and reapplied with Your Stitching and Glue.

I muster the nerve in BOLD solidarity to align my thoughts and actions with Your Purpose and Promise of my Destiny, in order to demonstrate that what is allowed does not disavow the Plans that You have for me. They are inclusive so that my character's resolve is strengthened.

"Battle Tested" I am, yet conflicted in my conviction, I am not. I "Rise and Praise" the work that You have done in me, and the Victory that you have guaranteed in Your Resurrection.

I Rise because You Rose and I am wrapped in Your Fabric. I adorn myself in the shadows of Your Robe of Righteousness, all for the sake of a privileged Spiritual glimpse. As if to reinact the act performed by the lady who bled for 12 years, by touching just the hem of your garment, knowing that You are still HERE!

For all of my Life, the totality of the rest of my days. Honor and Glory belongs to You, I "Rise and Praise."

God, Love, And Smile Always!
