More than victory

I have seen an important pairing in that a victory is so much sweeter when there has been a grand challenge. It doesn't mean as much to win when there was no chance,, or at least appeared to be no chance of losing. This is that. Christians suffer through some of the worst things that life has to offer and then ultimately proceed to the greatest victory. Push me to my limits and watch my glorious victory, is not something we might ask for but it is just as sweet none-the-less. The smaller the distance between us and possible loss the sweeter the victory but at the same time faith reminds us that we cannot lose. And while not losing is a great victory and greater when it appears someone could lose, an even greater victory is to be faced with circumstances that testify to defeat and to know that, contrary to appearances, victory is in the offing. To be able to cry, we win, we win, when as far as everyone is concerned the game is not yet over AND to be proven correct, is more than to conquer. In fact, it is a victory so sweet as to be almost unbelievable.

Romans 8:37 NASB1995

[37] But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
