Jesus is victorious.

If I didn't live my life within the reality that Jesus is victorious, then I really don't know where I'd be right now.
If I derived my worth and value purely through other people, what they thought of me and how they treated me, then I would be in deep distress.
If I had to rely on my own strength in times of struggle then I would certainly fail.
I struggle with self-pity, with feeling let down and disappointed by the human race, and I am attacked by negative or evil forces and powers, and I've been thinking lately that if I didn't live in the hope and victory I have through the actions of Jesus Christ, then I actually don't know how I'd cope. Makes me wonder how those who don't know God do cope??!
No matter what I go through, I know that God loves me and has got my back, Jesus died and rose again to declare victory over evil and death, and the Holy Spirit dwells within me in power, while comforting and guiding me.
Remind me of this next time I'm struggling and feeling as if life is too hard.
