Victory Over Defeat

Defeat can look certain. Darkness can seem to loom over the horizon and no light seems to penetrate the doom. The world and your life can be a grim place. However, victory is at hand. The victory is yours. For even when you get old, gray, and feeble, there awaits you a new life and a new place to live. Your new place to live is in Heaven. Because you have Heaven waiting, you have a life full of hope in the here and now when hope seems gone. Christ came giving you a message, a vision, and a hope in eternal life. Christ came and surrendered up His life so you could have life eternal. Your life is never over. You may die in the body, but who you are as an energized living soul remains alive after you die. Where you go in your life after your body quits working here on earth is based upon decisions you make now. If you choose the way and teachings of Christ, you have a new life just ahead of you. No matter how hopeless or fruitless things seem now, your future can be bright and gleaming. The beaming love and powerful healing touch of Christ reach your heart if you will open up to Him. Your new life in the future starts now. Your new life full of promise, full of meaning, full of purpose, and full of an overwhelming mission starts now. In Christ, there is no end. In Christ, there are only eternal beginnings.
