My prayer, today, is that we embrace the freedom we’ve been given, as a gift, in Christ. May we boldly receive His forgiveness, declare “I am free”, live in it and love one another through it. Press play to hear the song on my heart.
You’re the reason I have hope / You’re everything I need and more / You made me / You made me free ♪
Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you. Galatians 5:1 (MSG)
Last month, Gungor’s new album I Am Moutain reached top 10, overall, on iTunes! Although I love their new single (here), one of my favorites – an “old school” Gungor – reminds me that He makes beautiful things…out of the dust; out of us.
Press play. Be encouraged. You are made beautiful.
In July 2010, I began attending “Foundations classes” at my now church home, to better understand the foundations, beliefs and expectations of the church I was considering becoming a member of. I, along with the other attendees, were asked to take the time to write down our “story”, sometime between the first and fourth class. The story that I told (via email), began like this, and I quote:
Since I received this “homework assignment” about a week and a half ago, each time I take a moment to think about what “My Story” is, the following song lyrics come to mind (and I’m grateful):
As I look back over my life, I can see how Your love has guided me.
Even though I’ve done wrong, You never left me alone, but You forgave me, and You kept on blessing.
This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. It’s because of Your mercy, that we are not consumed.
Because Thy compassions fail not, they are new every morning.
Great is Thy faithfulness, great is Thy faithfulness.
I was reminded of my love for each and every word of this song, a few weeks ago, after listening to this sermon. Since, my hubs and friends who’ve also listened to the sermon have had this song and the faithfulness of God imprinted on our hearts.
Please press play to listen. He’s truly been so faithful.
Thanks KD & SH.
In random conversation with my friends, I constantly find myself saying “I can’t” with them or with something hilarious that they’ve said! Now, this song reminds me of what I really cannot do without.
Please press play to listen.
Be encouraged to give up the control. Be encouraged to depend on Him. Be encouraged to live life with Him.
God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure… Hebrews 6:18-19
