Faith to see yourself through God's eyes

Whatever you are facing in life, or whatever is coming in your future, God has already given you the faith for it. It may not look like it, and you may not feel like you have what it takes to overcome, but faith in God is not based on our circumstances or how we feel.


The enemy would like for you to believe that you do not have a chance in life, that you are too weak, too poor, too whatever. But God has a different view of you. God sees you through the eyes of love. He sees not what you can be, but what He has invested in you, not what you or others may see.


Seeing yourself the way God sees you leads to a life of overwhelming victory.


But it takes faith. You can not just hear that God loves you and sees you as His child, you have to believe it. It takes faith to move forward and overcome the challenges of life. And faith does you no good if you do not know how to release it. You have to release your faith in order for it to work.


We release faith through our words, actions and, of course, through prayer. It is up to us to act.


First John 4:4 is a scripture we quote a lot, and almost anytime I say this verse in a church or meeting, everybody claps and cheers. But how many people really believe that "He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world?"


The truth is, the One in you is greater and He loves you. So stretch your faith today and see yourself the way God sees you. It does not matter what enemy wants you to see or how things might look. Our faith overcomes through the One who lives in us!


Prayer starter: God, I believe that You love me and that you have given me the power to overcome. As you child, I will act on the faith You have given me every day, trusting in You and overcoming any obstacle that comes my way.

**Joyce Meyer

1 John 4:4

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
