Anyi bu Ndi Mmeri.... (We are Victors) When you face rejections. When you meet disappointments. When you call for meetings and no one shows up. When people say, "You can count on me" and then they fail you. When you start up a business and you lose everything. When you write an exam and fail over and over again. When you go look for a job and you don't find one. When people you love die. When you face heart breaks, traumas and there's no one else to trust. When the doctors diagnoses you with chronic illnesses. When you try again and again and still fail. When the future seems so dark. When the whole world is trying to pull you down. Always remember to be strong and of good cheer, because Christ has overcome the world. It's difficult believing God when life becomes hard. But I know that whenever it seems as if God is far from us, that's actually when he is closest. To guide, console and protect us. For we are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair! Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed!! Always bearing about in our body, the pain and suffering of Christ so that His life might be made manifest in our body. And therefore having this assurance with a promise, I affirm to you that: You are a winner, you are a success and you are more than conquerors! Believe your way into this Victory, Jesus Christ still leads on. From Hopeful Me - www.ahopefulme.com
