“You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit” (I John 4:4, 13).

It’s God in us who makes us strong and overcomers. It’s Him in us who makes us brave and courageous. It’s Him in us who gives us confidence. It’s Him in us who gives us eyes to see a hopeful future. It’s Him in us who allows us to not worry. It’s Him in us who gives us the tools to fight battles bigger than ourselves. To fight against disappointments and regrets, and to move on in life. It’s Him in us who helps us to overcome darkness. It’s Him in us who gives us joy, even in sorrow. So, when you feel fearful, when you’re in panic, when you’re overcome by darkness, know that it’s Him in us who can tackle and overcome all things. Not by our strength, but His strength in us. His Holy Spirit that lives in us is our greatest weapon.

With His strength, we can overcome anything, including disappointments, depression, anxiety and regrets. You are accepted in the beloved. “Having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, ⁶ to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. ⁷ In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Eph. 1:5-7). You are highly favoured, and accepted. Start quoting that, instead of thinking about the failures. It sounds so simple, but it just works. It’s just true. The word of God works. It’s time to move on.
