Not an Option

It's so easy to give up. It takes little effort and a will to want to quit. You don't need much thought just a moment when you don't feel like going on. It only take minutes to give up what seemed to take a lifetime to create. All that you've worked so hard for can be gone just like that. I'm sure people would understand why you decided to quit. They would understand all the pressure that you had and your reasons for giving up. Life was just too hard. The more you tried the harder it seemed. Yeah, that's your reason. You tried your best and did all that you could to make it all run smoothly and you failed. So you should give up and walk away. You can leave all that you created behind.

That's not very encouraging but it's something that we tell ourselves from time to time when we're feeling overwhelmed or alone. No matter how many times you hear you can make it the reality of it doesn't always sink in right away. For some you have to reach the point when all you have is a will and hope that things will get better. For others it's making it to the point of no return before realizing you can begin again. Giving up is not an option. Staying in the race is a choice. Don't let the cares of this world trick you into giving up. There will always be trials and obstacles that come against you, but you can overcome them. Don't expect people to always be there to lift you up. Learn to encourage yourself. Seek God and His wisdom and He will give you knowledge and strength to stand. You can make it. You're one step closer than you were before. You're one breath away from that aha moment. Breathe and learn to take the good with the bad. Strive to become better and not bitter. Life can be sweet but it's up to you and how you stir it and what you add to it. Don't settle for less but be grateful for all things. See yourself beyond your circumstances and hold on to that thought. Cry if you must, laugh if you can. But always remember that giving up is not an option._

IMPOSSIBLE - Not able to occur, exist, or be done: Very difficult to deal with:

Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is
impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Just  looking at this word seems challenging. Trying to deal with difficult 
people or a hard task can be very discouraging. Throughout the Bible you  will
find God as I AM. Here are a few examples of the great I AM.

~Song of Solomon 2:1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

~Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the
Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

~John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me.

~John 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

I'M  is the contraction for I AM and with God ALL things are POSSIBLE. When  we
take ourselves out of the equation and look to God for guidance we  will be able
to overcome those obstacles that stand in our way.

Through  God you can take the impossible and make it possible. Now when you look 
at the IMpossible...You should see I AM standing before the POSSIBLE  making it
obtainable. Impossible is one word or one challenge...But  knowing that I AM is
even in the impossible makes it easier to overcome.

Acknowledge  the Lord in ALL your ways. Allow Him to lead and guide you. When
you  put I AM first...Everything else will fall in place.
Stay Encouraged!
