If you think back over the past week, can you recall an incident or area of your life where God gave you victory?  Perhaps you were kind in the face of anger or patient with unruly children or loving to a confused, aged parent.  You can experience victory through God.

You can be victorious in life on earth. Revelation 7 tells us that we will be rewarded by serving and loving the Lord.  We have many opportunities to serve.  In this land and around the world people are hungry and thirsty, homeless and with no one who really cares about them.  We can serve and love the Lord by serving and loving each other.  Loving unselfishly does not mean making the least of ourselves but making the most of someone else. View others through the eyes of Jesus. 

Some people may be well cared for physically and financially, but they carry many burdens.  Are you included among those who carry many burdens?  Will the final chapter of your life close in defeat or victory?  If you have not asked Jesus to take your burden of sin, ask him to "wipe away every tear" (Revelation 7:17) from your eyes, to cleanse you in his blood.

You can be victorious after your life on earth by receiving salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord.
