God's Definition of You

1 John 4:4--Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

1 Cor 10:13--There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].

Last night, as I was meditating on the Lord before going to sleep, God dropped something into my spirit. 

God defines us by what He brings us through. 

Every temptation or trial the enemy brings to us has to have God's approval first.  Ever wonder WHY God allows these things to happen?  Meditate on this reason throughout the day.

What we are going through right now is God's way
of showing us what we are really made of. 
It is not what people see in us that counts. 
It is what God sees.
God sees that you have a greater strength
than what even you might not have realized.

Have a great day my friend.  And, throughout this day, see yourself as God sees you.  If your trial is strong and hard, then God sees you as someone stronger.  If the people that you are around aren't going through as rough and tough of a time that you are, then God sees you as the roughest and the toughest soldier in the group.  Quit looking down.  Look up and praise Him.  Realize who and what you are in God's sight and love Him with all your heart.  The victory IS yours.
