I was listening to to this song, by Fun, it’s called Carry On, Carry On. I thought about the lyrics and it was a reflection of my life and maybe yours and others too. We all go through those challenging times in life. When we think we are alone and sinking like a stone in the bottomless pit of despair we must carry on.
If you know what I’m talking about you have gone through some serious challenges in your life. I think I have had more than my fair share of setbacks and disappointments. And in those moments of reflection the thoughts that creep in telling us, “Hey, I want to quit! I’m tired of all this crap in my life.”
But there isn’t an easy “door” in life that we can walk out of. Sometimes we think of giving up entirely, but that doesn’t do anything but give the victory to our enemies. We must carry on!
I have gone through over 40 years of walking in the desert of hurt, loneliness, stress and despair. Someone in my life, betrayed me, kept holding me down, sabotaging my finances, plans, anything they could and did some things that were unquestionably wicked and evil, detrimental to my life. Sometimes it can’t be understood why people do the things that they do, especially empaths we are always giving people the benefit of the doubt, even to our own hurt. But you still must carry on.
What hurts us the most is the shame, embarrassment and humiliation that come with the feeling of being discarded in life. Especially, if we are spurned by someone close to us. But that is just what the devil wants you to accept so you won’t try to get back up. You will lock yourself up in a dark world without bars. Chaining yourself to your past and the memories that hold you back. Its time to get out of you prison shackles of shame and humiliation even anger and rage. It’s time to break free of those shackles. Carry on, carry on.
Well, I will leave you with what God told me, “leave your past behind, don’t wallow in your sorrows and carry on, carry on.” That’s where I got the song from.
I pray that you will stand up to the wiles of the enemy who is trying to hold you down and hold you back from doing great things. I pray that God will strengthen you and give you the wherewithal to stand up to your past and look it in the face and say
“You will not hold me back.”
Every chain—broken.
Every burden—lifted.
You were meant to fly again.
I won’t let you hold me down. I pray that every chain will be broken and you will fly again. Rise up! Carry on, Carry On.
Love you all, Be blessed!
