Nothing is certain but death and taxes. No, nothing is certain but that you have something to overcome, and a purpose to overcome it. We all see people who look like they have it all, but you can be sure that they have something to overcome. We all see people who have issues, who claim that they were born that way. That may be true, but it’s not a curse, It’s what they have to overcome, and the overcoming is a blessing.
The one who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. Revelation 21:7 NASB
"I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me. Psalm 57:2 ESV
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Ephesians 2:10 NASBAn important part of life is a purpose, and a reason to be a better person, so that you can accomplish that purpose. Something harder to overcome, is an opportunity for a greater victory, in accomplishing your purpose. When things are especially hard, and you feel too weak to overcome, you will find that your greatest success is in your weakness, because you are dependent on Jesus Christ to overcome. There is no greater power for you, than God’s power in your life. When you give him your weakness, he has already overcome it, and he will give you the strength that you need to do great things.
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.That purpose is what each of us was born for, it is part of God’s plan for you. No successful person got there on easy street. Overcoming made them stronger, because it was God who overcame.
2 Corinthians 12:9 ESV
The one who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat with My Father on His throne.
Revelation 3:21 NASB
