I know it will still be a while since you will literally learn to "stand up" but the lesson I would like to share with you today is on a different kind altogether.
All my life, I had to stand up on more than one occasion. Stand up for what I knew was right. Even if it meant standing up to family members (as painful as it may be for them as it was for me), standing up to friends, to authorities (especially when I was in school). Its not easy. Especially if you stand alone. It will probably be one of the most difficult times of your life, for sure. I would gladly protect you from situations like these. But these are the moments that will stay with you or a lifetime. Will build character and faith. To enable you to dig deep into why its so important to be where you are, even when the people around you see things very deeply.
It can be family. It could be about theories and concepts. But the most important of all, is in the field of FAITH. With God, standing up for Him will always will be the most important decision you will ever make in your life. And trust me, there are no regrets.
If I had to do my life over, I wouldn't change a thing. As hard and heart-breaking as it has been, God is and always will be worth it. Sacrificing what matters to you most comes with the territory. But then again, the people and things that are worth it are worth fighting for, right?
At this very moment, I have to stand up once more. I know my place and this is for you, too, my dear. One day you will know the things that I am going through right now. But at this very moment, though I stand on my own where I am, there are people praying with and for me. So let us hold on to the faith that will always see us through. Let us not be afraid. Let us be bold and courageous, knowing that God stands up for us every single moment. So this is nothing compared to what He has to go through day in and day out.
The verse that came to me a few moments ago is this:
"But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation." - Psalm 14:5
