In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world —John 16:33
God does not give us overcoming life— He gives us life as we overcome. The strain of life is what builds our strength. If there is no strain, there will be no strength.
Overcome your own timidity and take the first step. Then God will give you nourishment— “To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life . . .” (Revelation 2:7).
God never gives us strength for tomorrow, or for the next hour, but only for the strain of the moment. - Oswald Chambers
Very straightforward. =)
