Get Ready for YOUR Comeback

At just 20 years old, Alysa Liu didn’t just skate beautifully -- she staged a comeback for the history books. The first American woman in 24 years to stand atop the Olympic podium. Gold around her neck. Tears in her eyes. Her father, Arthur Liu, celebrating wildly in the stands.

Twenty-four years is a long drought.
But droughts don’t cancel destiny.
That's what stirred my heart. A comeback doesn’t begin on the podium. It begins in the dark. In early mornings. In falls and failures. In moments when the spotlight is nowhere to be found.

Micah 7:8 whispers what the ice declared: "Rejoice not over me, my enemy; when I fall, I shall arise.” -- Micah 7:8

Notice it doesn’t say if I fall. It says when I fall. Truthfully, falling isn't the end of our stories. Stepping back isn’t our calling.
Getting ready for our comeback? That’s faith.

Maybe someone reading this feels like they’ve been in a 24-year winter season. Prayers unanswered. Dreams delayed. Strength stretched thin. But hear this:

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” -- John 1:5

Our God does His best work in dark rinks and dim seasons. He doesn’t panic when we slip. He doesn’t abandon us when the scoreboards look unimpressive.

He says: “For the righteous fall seven times and rise again.” -- Proverbs 24:16

Aw! Rise again. Not limp forward. Not retreat quietly. Rise.

And when we step into God's Light, we don’t just survive -- we stand tall. We stand steady. We stand on the podium He prepared long before we ever laced up our skates.

Because our comeback isn’t powered by applause.
It’s fueled by God's presence.
So don’t take a step back.
Get ready.

Our God who walked us through the valley is the same God Who will call us forward into the spotlight.

And when we stand there -- strong, grateful, unshaken -- heaven will celebrate louder than any Olympic crowd ever could.

So -- let's forget the step-backs. Let's get ready for our comeback.

When we fall -- we rise. When it’s dark -- we step into His Light. Our God is writing a victory better than what we can even see!
