The 7-Ups (Encourage Yourself in the Lord)
.
1. Wake Up
Decide to have a good day.
..
“This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalms 118:24)
.
2. Dress Up
The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
..
“…For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)
.
3. Shut Up
Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking.
..
“He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.” (Proverbs 13:3)
“He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets; Therefore do not associate with one who flatters with his lips.” (Proverbs 20:19)
“Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days.” (Proverbs 19:20)
.
4. Stand Up
For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
..
“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.” (Galatians 6:9-10)
.
5. Look Up
To the Lord

A determined little turtle once climbed a tree. He somehow made it to
the first branch. Then he jumped into the air waving his front legs
and crashed to the ground.After a while he slowly climbed the tree again. And again he jumped.

Spiritual Being–Physical Experience
Physical Bodies on Earth
..
We are on this earth, in our physical bodies, because our souls have things to learn that we could not learn in any other way. It is through our physical body and the physical world that we can experience life. Purely spiritual beings are just that - they are in a state of being rather than doing in a place that is beyond the limitations of time and space. But when we incarnate on the physical plane, we are automatically subject to the laws of physics and the world of dualities. In this place, we know what happiness is because we have experienced sadness, and we understand the value and power of light because we have known darkness. Knowing this, we have the opportunity to let ourselves be spiritual beings having a physical experience.
..There is no pain in the spiritual realm, because we know we are one with the limitless source of the universe. But here, in the material realm, our sense of limitation and separation allows us to feel our emotions and to learn about love,

3. Maybe . . . it is true that we don’t know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we don’t know what we have been missing until it arrives.
4. Maybe . . . the happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
