Refuse to Crumble

The world will say you're not good enough.
Refuse to crumble.
The world will string you along only to dispose you heartlessly.
Refuse to crumble.
The world will strip you of your job--further, your financial security.
Refuse to crumble.
The world will be threatened by you and plan your demise.
Refuse to crumble.
The world will tempt you with empty promises.
Refuse to crumble.
The world will have you invest everything then kick you to the curb.
Refuse to crumble.
The world will smile in your face and stab you in the back.
Refuse to crumble.
The world will rob you: of opportunity, chances, dignity, love.
Refuse to crumble.
The world will torment your heart, bringing unrest to your soul.
Refuse to crumble.
The world will tell you you're beautiful then spit in your face.
Refuse to crumble.
The world will cheat you.
Refuse to crumble.
Refuse to crumble because none of those circumstances, despite how they make you feel, determine who you are.
Refuse to crumble because there is nothing more beautiful than rising up out of the ashes.
Refuse to crumble because crumbling is not what the Lord has for your life.
We will have trouble in this world but take heart, I have overcome the world.
Refuse to crumble because we are able to stand firm on the one who doesn't--Jesus Christ.


"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.  In this world you will have trouble. But take heart!  I have overcome the world" - John 16:33
