"Jai Ho." Victory, healing, and transformation are not one time events. When we experience a "win" in life; we finally say "no", we finally say "yes", we finally stop drinking, stop smoking, make it to the gym 6 days in a row, have daily prayer/meditation, take our vitamins, get to a yoga class, refrain from gossip, practice self control, refrain from road rage or from freaking out on someone t...hat "pisses you off", when we choose gentleness over harshness, when we finally forgive and let go of bitterness, we can be sure that our "wins" will be challenged again. There will be many victories on the road to health and transformation. Don't be discouraged when you face the same "temptation" over and over again. "I thought I already dealt with this, why am I facing this again? I guess I really wasn't healed, I guess I didn't have a break through like I thought." Hold on to your victory, your health, your spiritual and emotional healing even when it seems you are facing "it" once again. It's a journey, never give up, you will be victorious...."Jai Ho" means "may victory be yours." (Luke 4:23 NLT) "When the devil had finished tempting Jesus, he left him until the next opportunity came.". Even Jesus had to face "it" over and over again. Jai Ho..."
