These song lyrics from Mandisa keep running through my had tonight. Perhaps it is because I know just how true they are. When I am down, He lifts me up again. His strength keeps me persevering. His love never fails. His grace makes my brokenness something beautiful. He allows me to push beyond my own limits and comfort zones. His death on the cross overcame everything (John 16:33). His act of love for me (and for you) ensures that Hi grace will allow me (as well as you) to also overcome everything this world may throw our way. Hold onto that hope that is only found in the love of our Savior! I know I'm holding on tight to Him every moment!
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
Overcomer by Mandisa
Whatever it is you may be going through
I know He's not gonna let it get the best of you
You're an overcomer
Stay in the fight ‘til the final round
You're not going under
‘Cause God is holding you right now
You might be down for a moment
Feeling like it's hopeless
That's when He reminds You
That you're an overcomer
You're an overcomer
Everybody's been down
Hit the bottom, hit the ground
Ooh, you're not alone
Just take a breath, don't forget
Hang on to His promises
He wants You to know
The same Man, the Great I am
The one who overcame death
He's living inside of You
So just hold tight, fix your eyes
On the one who holds your life
There's nothing He can't do
He's telling you
