Have you ever heard the phrase "a go" or "give me an a" and wondered what it truly means to persevere? We use expressions like these all the time, but what does it look like to really dig deep and "keep on" when life gets tough? You know, like when you're facing an "end-of-a-life piano" situation – feeling totally defeated and wanting to give up.
Let me tell you, there's a superhero who embodies this spirit of resilience better than anyone: Jesus. And no, I'm not talking about a caped crusader with superpowers (though walking on water is pretty cool!). I'm talking about the kind of strength that comes from within, the kind that helps you face any storm.
Think about it. The lyrics from the Christian song "Jesus Superhero" paint a powerful picture: "Jesus has calmed the stormy waves and stepped on water…He is the One who saves." He didn't just perform miracles; he lived a life of radical love and forgiveness, even when facing unimaginable challenges. He showed us what it means to "keep on" even when the 'nightcore' version of life – the dark and intense side – threatens to overwhelm us.
So, how can we tap into that same strength, that same unwavering commitment to keep going?
1. Remember Your 'Why': Just like Jesus had a mission to spread love and hope, you have a purpose too. What gets you out of bed in the morning? What are you passionate about? When things get tough, remembering your 'why' can fuel your fire.
2. Find Your Crew: Even superheroes need sidekicks! Surround yourself with people who uplift and encourage you. They'll be your cheerleaders when you need a boost and your anchors in the storm.
3. Embrace the Struggle: Here's the thing: challenges are inevitable. But they're also opportunities for growth. Just like a muscle gets stronger through resistance training, your spirit grows stronger by overcoming obstacles.
4. Celebrate Small Victories: Don't wait for the grand finale to celebrate your progress. Every step forward, no matter how small, is a victory worth acknowledging. Give yourself a pat on the back, do a little dance – whatever brings you joy!
5. Turn to Your Faith: For many, faith is a source of incredible strength and comfort. Just like the lyrics from "Jesus Superhero" remind us, "He's always there when I need You." Leaning on your faith can provide solace and guidance when you need it most.
Remember, you don't have to face your challenges alone. Just like Jesus showed us, true strength lies in love, compassion, and unwavering faith. So, the next time you hear someone say "give me an A" or feel the weight of the world on your shoulders, remember the example of Jesus. Tap into your inner superhero, and keep on shining!
"Jesus, I will follow you. You are the strongest, Almighty Father, never changing, everlasting, always there when I need You." - Lyrics from "Jesus Superhero"
This journey of resilience, of learning to "keep on," is a lifelong adventure. There will be ups and downs, moments of doubt and moments of triumph. But by embracing the lessons of Jesus, by finding strength in our faith and in ourselves, we can face any challenge with courage and grace.
