Overcome

"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 NIV) Don't try to live a problem-free life, because your expectations on this will never be met... Jesus said that in this world we will have trouble. But instead, keep your eyes on the prize - Heaven. In heaven you will live a problem-free life for the rest of eternity. Also, don't start each day saying "I hope I don't face any problems," but instead saying, "God, I know I will have problems today, so please equip me to get through them... Let's face them together." And be encouraged that we know the end of the story - Jesus has overcome the world!!!
