We love the story of triumph in the end.  We are drawn to the situations and people who victoriously beat the odds. The message of overcoming lives inside of us which is why we recognize it.  It wakes us up and reminds us of what we are capable of.  It seems trite to speak of it in personal terms when reacting to someone else’s victory but it is personal.  The spark of overcoming awakens us and reminds us that we too can overcome.  The heart of love ever-present within us is the story of overcoming. In this messy, crazy, wacky, and often confusing world where sometimes we do not know which end is up we are reassured when we witness the triumph over those circumstances.  God invites us to notice how the spirit of overcoming is present in our own lives. The moments when we could succumb to our survival nature, to hunker down and hide, but chose to hold our heads up and lead with our hearts.  The moments when we take a breath and allow someone close to us to draw closer into our hearts.  The moments when we let go of the desire to be right and chose to be loving despite every reason not to be.  All of these are instances of our hearts overcoming.  God knows us as beings who overcome with love more than we realize but wants us to recognize and celebrate it within our own vision.
