We Overcome
“They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony” (Revelation 12:11a).
I sat with rapt attention while listening to a former meth user, a drug dealer and a runaway. Her life was in shambles before she encountered the Lord—and to be honest—it has been ever since.
Even after finding peace, she struggled for years occasionally returning to her past lifestyle of drug use, men use, and living on the streets.
When we share our struggles, we highlight what God has done, causing others to marvel at Jesus.
However, something beautiful and unexpected happened when she opened up to bare her soul. Before me, I didn’t see someone chained to a life of drugs. Instead, I saw a beautiful woman, with physical scars, but still deeply loved by God, and she was teaching me something about forgiveness.
