Small Victory
A simple truth found me today. A truth which, in isolation, is not revelatory, or even unique; But for me, on this day, it soothes with quiet balm the exact raw nerve inside which so needed soothing.
He is our victorious warrior “You’re the one that fights for me! I don’t have to fight anymore Lord! You’re the one that fights for me my faith is rising my faith is rising I can SEE YOU AGAIN LORD!! On the horizon of my life oh Lord! I don’t have to be discouraged anymore!" (Jason Upton)
On many days I am my own warrior and protector, fighting the strains of life in a way that opposes allowing him to be my hero. Today (in moments!) my Spirit has subdued this imperfect area of my soul where I more often attempt to be my own sorry hero! This was, today, my victory. A small one, yes. I think, though, I'm ok with "small". Without recognition of these small victories, whichever current battle I'm facing begins to appear monumental in size and lethargic defeat looks appealing simply because it means there is some form of rest. For this reason, I will accept this small victory, say hooray for it, and be glad in the knowledge that for now I have grace to continue! I don't have to be discouraged about the battle when today, it is enough, this rest in my one small victory.
