I have faced dread and felt the weight of shame. I have walked through storms that tried to break me, yet I did not bow. There were moments I fell, but the One who gave His life for me stood tall on my behalf.

He fought battles I couldn’t fight. He overcame what I couldn’t overcome. He reminded me that the victory was already won, because he had conquered the world.

In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” — John 16:33
