it is up to me to overcome

They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

– Revelation 12:11

Song reference!

Seated above, enthroned in the Father's love
Destined to die, poured out for all mankind
God's only Son, perfect and spotless one
He never sinned but suffered as if He did

All authority
Every victory is Yours
All authority
Every victory is Yours

Savior, worthy of honor and glory
Worthy of all our praise, You overcame
Jesus, awesome in power forever
Awesome and great is Your name, You overcame

Power in hand speaking the Father's plan
You're sending us out, light in this broken land

All authority
Every victory is Yours

Savior, worthy of honor and glory
Worthy of all our praise, You overcame, You overcame
Jesus, awesome in power forever
Awesome and great is Your name, You overcame, yeah

We will overcome by the blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony, everyone overcome

Being a Christ follower is not about comfort, though it can be comforting.

Being a Christ follower is not easy, though it lightens our burdens.

However, being a Christ follower IS about testifying to what we have seen and heard, what has touched our lives and how we can touch others.

We don’t overcome by shrinking back from our faith; we are called to go forward, even when the road is hard and we may feel all alone.

Over the years I have found myself becoming more vocal about my faith. 

I would hope, that hearing my testimony will lead someone, just give a little nudge, toward a path with my Father.

It is up to us.

How can you help someone today?

Have a blessed day!
