Have you ever been down and then you get down on yourself for being down? Yeah. The devil loves that. When he gets you in that mind frame it’s a big ol’ double whammy.

Beat down.

Ran down.

Talked down.

Trampled down.

That’s his jam. But that’s not the way God intended His ambassadors to live or to feel.

God has given us Blessed Assurance. He has given us Amazing Grace. Peace like a River.

And more than anything else – He gave us an Old Rugged Cross. An Old Rugged Cross that we can hang our tired on. We can hang our trampled hearts on that cross and walk away. We can walk away knowing that God is restoring, mending, and breathing life back into us.

Y’all, that cross was ran down, trampled down, and definitely talked down upon – and look what my God did.

Go to Him. Give it to Him. Let Him.

“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.” 1 Peter 5:10
