More than a conqueror-the long & hard seasons that deplete &
fatigue you...are the very same ones that prepare & catapult you
into becoming a conqueror. Don't try to pray these difficult seasons
away for you or anyone else; they're the building blocks for an identity
in Christ-the true self. These seasons press, push & purge the
securities you hold onto instead of Christ...allowing His love to flood
your heart, mind & soul. It's a beautiful thing to find Christ's
love in the middle of your emptiness & fatigue. When all the props
are taken away, back ups removed, good enough & important are
gone...then you will find Jesus, His love &
promises. It's when you can't do anything but receive the authentic
love of Jesus...then you're known by Him my friend-it's how you become
more than a conqueror. See, a conqueror doesn't gain strength based on
merit, or because of what they accomplish or what they can do for
someone, but a conqueror knows their strength comes from the One Who
chose & justified them. Who can come against you if God's for you,
can anything separate you from His love, a situation too big for Him, a
hardship He can't handle, a hurt He's never heard of??? Nothing, nada,
no one can come between Christ & you-ever! Don't run from this hard
season-you'd be running from the arms of Christ & He wants you to
know He loves you & that through Him you're more than a conqueror!

Shining God's truth across the world (Mt 5:16). When we lay down who we think we should be...we make room to become who God says we can be-His masterpiece to do the good works He planned long ago (Eph 2:10).
