I can't remember how many times in my life I have felt like the least important person in the whole entire world, or the one with the dirtiest secret or the heaviest burden, or the most inadequate person for the job I was picked for, and so on. I wrestle so often with inadequacy and insufficiency. I almost never believe that I am loved or good enough. And maybe you are like that too. Maybe today you are feeling worthless, or horrible, or dirty, or a combination of any of those.

The Lord reminded me this morning of Romans 8:37. It says,
"But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us."
It's nice to know that we conquer, but why do we overwhelmingly conquer? Because Jesus lives in us and he is THE Conqueror. He conquered life and death and everything in between. You are, by nature, a champion if you belong to Jesus. Believe it! When the most powerful force in the entire universe, the Creator of Everything, is on your side, there is nothing you can't "overwhelmingly conquer"...ever.

So my little encouragement to you today is this: It is a denial of your identity to think you can't overcome and conquer. Get back up, and fight again. You are a champion.
