REVIVAL

What does revival mean and how does it apply in our lives?

Let us first take a look at the Webster Dictionary Meaning for Revival:  1.  an improvement in the condition or strength in something.  2.  an instance of something becoming popular, active or important again.  3.  a new production of an old play or similar work.  4.  a reawakening of religious fervor, especially by means of a series of evangelistic meetings.  5.  a restoration to bodily or mental vigor to life or consciousness, or to sporting success

Daily Wisdom Word Meaning:  Revival  1.  A new awakening of a clear view point that you did not have clarity with before.

The definition of revival I will focus on is the improvement in the condition or strength of something.  This is usually something you have changed your thinking on, and are looking at from a different perspective, giving you strength and improvement in your thinking with.  A revival in an awakening in that thinking.  A revival is a different perspective because different facts have come to light to make you see something in a way that allows you to let go of it from the old perspective and look at it from the new one.

A revival can almost be compared to shedding old skin and the new skin underneath it coming out.  It can also be compared to someone who can’t see something clearly, finally getting glasses and being able to look at it from the new perspective giving them strength and hope.  A revival is very important as sometimes it also means an old way of thinking making more sense in your life again, and implementing this into a new set of circumstances.  For instance,  the last time I went through a break up with someone I truly loved, I had a revival.  In order to gain strength and improve my condition, I had to go back to the way I thought of things when I was single before having met this person.  This, for me, was my revival.  My way of gaining strength and improving my condition mentally when thinking about the situation.

What instances in your life have you had your own personal revival or awakening?  A situation for you where old things that had become unimportant in your life have become important again?  We have all had revivals at one time or another, but may not have realized that is what we were having.

A revival  also means a restoration to bodily or mental vigor to life or consciousness.  Sometimes, this means letting go of an old way of thinking and bringing into perspective, a new way of thinking to make us stronger.  Revivals are good things because they let us let go of old ways of thinking that are no longer working for us.

Today, I hope to get poems or quotes about what revival means to you.  Before you write your poem or quote, think about a time when you have gone through a personal revival.

Thank you so much for reading daily wisdom words and have a blessed and warm day….(not too warm)

  1. Look how triumph conquers distress,
    I have lost everything but myself,
    I have lost trust but not faith,
    In the heavens above where rains
    Are golden tears, nourishing crops
    Of love and hope, they eat the weeds
    Of pain growing around my soul.

  2. I started this one on my way home from work today. The first couple of verses were in my head and I finished it after I got home. I hope you like it.

    Like A Phoenix

    There’s a place on the horizon
    And no matter what you do
    You can’t ever seem to grab it
    Its just out of reach for you
    It’s a struggle for you daily
    And I know how hard you try
    It’s a wonder you’re still standing
    It’s enough to make you cry
    Yes you’ve had your share of heartaches
    Your share of suffering and pain
    But you’ve always seen the rainbow
    No matter how hard it might rain

    You were born for something greater
    Far beyond what you can see
    It’s a tattered coexistence
    Between you and misery
    Though you’re buried in the ashes
    Like a phoenix you will rise
    And you’ll end up even stronger
    Than you ever realized
    You just have to keep believing
    You’ll survive eventually
    Like a phoenix you will rise now
    And fulfill your destiny

    Time and time again they told you
    ” You know you never will succeed”
    Don’t you dare let their words bind you
    They’re just trying to mislead
    In your younger days you longed for
    A love that you could touch and feel
    But as years went slowly fading
    You thought that dream was quite unreal
    Somewhere on the road you’ve traveled
    You’ve been burned but don’t despair
    You still have a heart worth saving
    Someone out there will always care

    Sometimes your dreams are all you have
    Don’t you ever let them go
    So no matter how tough life may get
    There’s one thing that you should know

    You were born for something greater
    Far beyond what you can see
    It’s a tattered coexistence
    Between you and misery
    Though you’re buried in the ashes
    Like a phoenix you will rise
    And you’ll end up even stronger
    Than you ever realized
    You just have to keep believing
    You’ll survive eventually
    Like a phoenix you will rise now
    And fulfill your destiny

  3. A revival I had in me
    Happen when I was 43
    Walked in the sun seem long that I did
    Forever chasing shadows I hid
    Rivival was needed I wanted to be free
    Of his ghost that was haunting me
    Oh what a joy when that day finally came
    Found the key to unlock my rusty chains
    Smiling now happy and carefree
    Love the life that I made for me

  4. A revival is needed for me
    At this time of my life a return to the man I once was and hopefully will be again for too long I have been in a mindset where I felt I had to choke out the side of me that has a right to speak out to demand that I matter that I too will be afforded the respect that I have given so freely and that I don’t want to be taken for granted and so readily be dismissed in my relationships so I am taking the first steps toward this revival of this new chapter in my life
