You have conquered what Napoleon could not.

One of the brightest stars in my life recently told me that I conquered what Napoleon could not. As I layed awake through the night thinking about what I have conquered my thoughts immediately came to the conclusion that I had not ever conquered anything.

As I pondered these thoughts in my heart the question arose within me asking “Why I felt like I had never conquered anything?” The very next thing my mind began to do was recall everytime I failed, every battle that left me scarred. Everytime my flesh cried out for relief instead of being strong and unwavering. These things leave us feeling so much less than conquerors.

My son came to me once in a very difficult time in my life and sobered my soul up instantly when the wisdom of God came forth from his sweet little mouth. ( he was 4 years old at the time). “Mommy I saw the Lord today and He said that from where you are that you can’t see what is around the other side of the house next door, but he said Mommy, the Lord said He sees everything from where He is and everything is going to be ok.

You can imagine my shock and immediately surrender to tenderness. We see through clouded glass, broken mirrors and limited vision. It distorts the truth of who we are in Christ because we still have eyes of flesh. The truth is, we are conquerors. Yes, even more than conquerors through Him that loves us! Every victory is the Lords. Every battle ends in victory for the born again believer. Oh death, where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory? His banner of LOVE rides high above us in BATTLE. Assuring us of victory everytime. Until next time sweet friends. Jenny
