I am a Victor not a Victim!

God has been convicting me recently of how I look at myself as a victim instead of a victor. When I see myself through the eyes of a victim, I see all the negative things about me and my life. I focus on the negatives, and form the "woe is me" attitude. Yes, of course there are hard days in my life, but that does not mean I should just give-in to this attitude.

So instead of a victim attitude, what type of attitude am I supposed to have?

I should be having a "victor" attitude. I am a victor through Jesus Christ. Jesus came to earth, died on the cross for my and your sins, rose again the third day, and is now seated at the right hand of God! Because I have chosen to believe these things, and because I have asked Jesus Christ to be the Lord and Savior of my life, I am a victor through Him! I can have peace knowing that my Redeemer lives inside me and will carry me through the tough times. He is my light in this dark world!

Hope this brings you encouragement today! Love you all!
