When you keep getting knocked down…

When you keep getting knocked down…

Is continuing to get up worth it?

Yes ma’am and yes sir…it is!

The first time or the first few times we get knocked down…

It may lay us out flat and we may even lose consciousness for a minute

But we don’t just lay there…we get up

True enough…we may get knocked down again and again

But each time…it shouldn’t be the same thing that knocks us down

And if the same source…surely not the same way

Each time we go down…and get back up…

We get stronger and wiser…we should…anyway

The more we get knocked down…the harder it becomes for us to be knocked down

The more we've been knocked down…we no longer go flat or unconscious…

On one knee maybe…no longer two…unless we’re praying

At some point…we may teeter…but we will not fall

And the days will continue to come…

When the wind or waves come hard enough to knock us off our feet…

But they won't…

Because we've been through so much that our legs have become incredibly strong underneath us

Even though we get knocked down…after you’ve been through a thing or two…

It doesn’t look the same…the effect isn’t the same and neither is the result

The healing doesn’t take as long…and bouncing back becomes easier

Sometimes we may not expect the winds to blow as hard as they do

Or the waves to be more powerful than they look...

But when they are…

When we are anchored in Faith…

Believe on and Trust in the One Who Created us and can Save Us…

When we get knocked down…

We keep getting back up…

Stronger…quicker…wiser

It's worth it...keep getting up!
