The enemy wants to isolate you in the cave of your emotions, whispering the lie that you’re done and have nothing left to give. But God isn’t asking you to put on a brave face, pretend it’s all sunshine, or wait until you have it all figured out before you talk to Him. Bring every bit of that frustration, loss, and fatigue directly to the LORD, because you can’t be done when God ain’t done with you yet. Open the door, run toward the promise, and let Him take you from glory to glory.Scripture References:

In this message, Pastor Miguel Lebron talks about how we can overcome the negativity of others and how we should focus on our goals to ignore negative words and actions. A story is told of two frogs who fell into a well, and although the crowd of frogs told them that they would not make it, one of them decided to keep jumping until she finally made it out of the well. It states that we must take a page from the frog in history and turn a deaf ear to detractors' words. Love is also compared to truth, and 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 is quoted to describe the characteristics of love.
