You cannot measure your victory by your pain.
You don't know this is the story where Jacob wrestled with God. He wrestled with this angel and he ended up walking away with the limp genesis 32 verse 24 and jacob was left alone, the man wrestled with him which was God and he didn't know it yet until the breaking of day, he fought with his man all night, it was wwe smackdown and when the man not jacob angel saw that he did not prevail against jacob he touched his hip socket and jacob's hip was pulled out of joint
There are some things we've been fighting for so long in our lives we feel like we lost i've been fighting all night long i've been fighting this for years i've been trying to win this battle but just because you're still fighting doesn't mean that the victory has already been won by the opposing side means you still haven't lost. Once this angel pulled jacob's leg out of joint he said let me go i got to go the day is broken.
The other day I was feeling extremely discouraged by the battle that i'm facing right now and i'm like God if I have the victory why do I still feel this pain in my body. Why am I still hurting? why am I still feeling like this? and the lord said just because you walk with a limp victory doesn't mean you didn't win the victory. It's funny because my name literally means victory
You cannot afford to compare your pain to god's promises choose what you attach your faith to one of the specific promises god gave us is that we have victory through jesus christ your scar your limp your pain is your proof that what fought you could not kill you because jesus has already won we already win you walk in the grace of god you gotta embrace that and walk and fight this thing out to the finish.
