Any kid can do that… 😉

“Every child defeats this evil world and we achieve this victory through our faith.” (adapted from 1 John 5:4 NLT)

Did you hear that? One more time—listen closely:

“Every child defeats this evil world and we achieve this victory through our faith.” (adapted from 1 John 5:4 NLT) 

Yes, I intentionally left out the word “of God” so you’d catch something important. Because the verse actually says: “Every child of God defeats this evil world and we achieve this victory through our faith.” (adapted from 1 John 5:4 NLT)

When someone says, “Even a child could do that,” you know they mean it’s really simple, right? Now, you are a child of God. 😍 That’s made clear right at the beginning of the chapter: “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God.” (1 John 5:1 NLT)

And I’m guessing you believe that, right? 😉

So when you hear: “Every child of God defeats this evil world and we achieve this victory through our faith.” (adapted from 1 John 5:4 NLT) —whoa, that means this:

All the negative stuff happening in the world doesn’t have to make you afraid or anxious anymore, because you’re not a child of this world—you’re a child of God! And because of that, you have victory over every sin, every trial, every battle, and everything going on in front of or behind your door! 💪🏻💪🏻

“This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.” (1 John 5:4 NIV)

So if something tries to knock you down today, remember this and say it out loud: “God says I can have victory over this—and I believe it!”

Amen.

You are a miracle!
