Mercy

Told y'all God was speaking to me through song lyrics... The following lyrics pretty much sum up my life right now...

This is me, being real.

Mercy by Kristene Mueller

"What shall i do with you my love
What shall i do with you
For Your loyalty to me is like
The morning clouds
Like the dew that goes away so early

What shall i do with You my love
You keep bringing me sacrifices
To ease your mind
But it's your heart that I want

Hasn't it been a long road
With disappointments
Chasing after lovers
That just throw you away

Are you done fighting now
All the love it takes to lighten you
Shame was never meant to be
Your portion

You keep bringing me sacrifices
To ease your mind
But it's your heart that I want

Though these sins are red as scarlet
I will wash them white in my mercy
Though these sins are red as scarlet
I will wash them white in my mercy"


God, help me out of this place I'm in! Show me Holy Spirit how to lay it all down and not pick it back up, to truly give my heart to Abba. I am so sick, and weary, from all of life's disappointments and struggles. I'm tired of fighting Daddy. Help me not to "grow weary in well doing", to keep pushing through when all seems hopeless or lost. I need You Daddy, to hold me and love on me, to forgive me and walk with me, to use me God. Thank You for always being here for me Abba, I can always count on You! I love You so much! Love always, Your little girl...

Promises

Well, apparently God is speaking to me thru song lyrics as of late, so here you go!

Promises by Sanctus Real

"Sometimes it's hard to keep believing
In what you can't see
That everything happens for a reason
Even the worst life brings
If you're reaching for an answer
And you don't know what to pray
Just open up the pages
Let His word be your strength

And hold on to the promises (Hold tight)
Hold on to the promises (Alright)
Jesus is alive so hold tight
Hold on to the promises

All things work for the good
Of those who love God
He holds back nothing that will heal you
Not even His own Son
His love is everlasting
His faithfulness unending
Oh, if God is for us who can be against us
So if you feel weak

Chorus

Neither life, nor death
Could separate us
From the eternal love
Of our God who saves us"


Life can sometimes throw us curveballs, things unexpectedly happen, and we are left feeling alone and lost, like no one knows or cares what we are going through. But God does. All we have to do is open up the pages of the Good Book and start reading. His love for us is made known from beginning to end! He loved us so much that "He sent His only begotten Son so that we may have life and have it everlasting"! What promises are you holding on to my friends? Are they life giving and full of good, edifying things? Or are you stuck in a rut, feeling like life isn't worth living? Daddy is waiting for you to turn to Him, so that He can wipe away those tears and fears. In case no one has told you today... Jesus loves you! Enough to die for you!

In Him,

Anna
