"You can achieve the victorious
life through living in deep dependence on Me.
People usually associate victory with success: not
falling or stumbling, not making mistakes. But those
who are successful in their own strength tend to go
their own way, forgetting about Me. it is through
problems and failure, weakness and neediness that
you learn to rely on Me.
True dependence is not simply asking Me to bless
what you have decided to do. It is coming to Me with
an open mind and heart, inviting Me to plant My
desires within you. I may infuse within you a dream
that seems far beyond your reach. You know that in
yourself you cannot achieve such a goal. Thus begins
your journey of profound reliance on me. It is a faith-
walk, taken one step at a time, leaning on Me as much
as you need. This is not a path of continual success but
of multiple failures. However, each failure is followed
by a growth spurt, nourished by increased reliance on
Me. Enjoy the blessedness of a victorious life, through
deepening your dependence on Me."
