But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.
I always had a problem in school with "greater than" or "less than". But John makes quite clear for all us...we are greater for two reasons:
1. We are God's, we are His!
2. We are greater than the world. Not because of us, but because He lives in us!
Remember Philippians 4:13?
I am so thankful I am God's...I have tried to do it myself and can remember the misery and the failure. I still fail, but I know I have a God that will encourage, support, provide wisdom and love to a man that desperately needs it!

I have already overcome the world! (says John 4:4) I want to stop worrying about this term paper and submit (give completely) myself to GOD TODAY and FOREVER! :) I also want to obey my parents as soon as they ask me to do something beccause GOD tells me to. I want to grow close to GOD, and that means submitting and gving myself COMPLETELY to GOD!!
