“Success is defined by risks taken and overcome.”
from “Take the Risk: Learning to Identify, Choose, and Live with Acceptable Risk” by Ben Carson M.D., Gregg Lewis
How about this for some overcoming –
Rev 2:7 … To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
Rev 2:11 … He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death.
Rev 2:17 … To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.
Rev 2:26 To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations—
Rev 2:27 ‘He will rule them with an iron scepter;
he will dash them to pieces like pottery’—
just as I have received authority from my Father. 28 I will also give him the morning star.
Rev 3:5 He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.
Rev 3:12 Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name.
Rev 3:21 To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.
Are these rewards worth whatever it takes to overcome whatever is challenging you?
