Sometimes the circumstances of life seem overwhelming, but for those who abide in Him the overcoming triumph in Christ is always the result. Having obeyed the word of the Lord to lose our life, we then find that the new life within is not only victorious, but leaves the sweet savor of his presence as we go on our way. Gratitude of heart will produce an overflowing thanks to God continually.
