You're An Overcomer!!

I’ve been feeling a lot of different emotions these past few weeks.

Some days I’ll feel happy and joyful.

Some days I’ll feel nervous.

Some days I’ll feel sad and hurt.

Some days I’ll feel all of these and more.

There are days where I am able to put on a mask and act like I’m totally fine but there are some days where I can’t hide behind my mask. If I am happy, I am overwhelmingly happy. If I’m nervous, I stress out. And if I’m sad or hurt, it shows in my face. When I feel something, I feel it whole-heartedly and my emotions and feelings are an open book to the whole world.

There’s a song that I really like by Mandisa called Overcomer.

The song is about overcoming our battles in life, such as our negative feelings. It has such a positive message and it’s so upbeat that it is impossible for me to be in a bad mood after listening to this song. No matter what mood I was in before, afterwards, I always feel ready to take on whatever comes my way. If I start to get frustrated or stressed out or annoyed or any other negative feeling, I hear the words "You're an overcomer!!" in my mind and I remember to choose to be happy instead.

Check out my favorite verse and the chorus of Overcomer:

The same Man, the Great I am

The one who overcame death

He's living inside of You

So just hold tight, fix your eyes

On the one who holds your life

There's nothing He can't do

He's telling you

You're an overcomer

Stay in the fight ‘til the final round

You're not going under

‘Cause God is holding you right now

You might be down for a moment

Feeling like it's hopeless

That's when He reminds You

That you're an overcomer
You're an overcomer

This reminds me that whatever I am feeling Heavenly Father won’t let me fall and that Jesus Christ truly understands what we are going through.

Today I was feeling a little hurt. Instead of holding a grudge and feeling sorry for myself, I can let it go. I can move on and be happy and supportive instead of feeling hurt and feeling sorry for myself. Sometimes it’s really hard to do this on our own but we always will have the help of our Savior. If we just pray for Him to help us to overcome these feelings, He won’t let us down.

We are overcomers.
