Everyone is born with the innocence of not knowing what lays ahead, whether their lives will be beautiful or full of strife. We charge forth with no fear of failing nor falling, like every child whose goal is to stand and take that first step, when they do, victory is written all over their faces and it looks like nothing can top that feeling nor take it away. We are all born with an attitude of being a conqueror, we are all born fighting to survive, from that first instinct to take a breath as soon as we come out of the womb to our dying breath. If we are all born with the instinct to survive and thrive in life what happens along the way that causes defeat to grip our hearts by the time, we reach adulthood? If we are created in the image of God and have been redeemed by the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ, who is the epitome of victory, overcoming death on the cross, what has happened to cause the image of God to be distorted within us? We are born into a sinful world that ends up stripping us of who we are. What is the image of Christ in us?|Everyone is born with the innocence of not knowing what lays ahead, whether their lives will be beautiful or full of strife.
