This is the worst … hands down. I wish I loved myself enough to do something about it. God, help me to see myself as You see me. Amen.

"Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers drown it. If a man tried to buy love with all his wealth, his offer would be utterly scorned."

"You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book."

“If my heart is overwhelmed & I cannot hear Your voice, I’ll hold on to what is true though I cannot see”
Powerful lyrics I hope my heart will embrace and life will live. It’s so easy to forget that which is true. It’s so easy to get lost in the storms of life and the pain of each battle. But His love rescues. His love saves. His love transforms.
For all my days Jesus I am Yours. I’m Yours, I’m Yours forever.

This song reminds me (whenever I forget) that I’ve already won EVERY battle, the ones that have passed and the ones to come. ”With Him, we can’t lose. We ALWAYS win!” If Jesus is your Lord, be encouraged that you serve THE Champion, THE King of all Kings and Lord of ALL Lords. He is victorious!

Though He Slays
I will trust Him, though He slays
Into Him I’ll run with all this pain
Because all these aches won’t go away
Resisting any painkiller I could take
See, no overdose can quench
This agony, this stench
of decay
From the decomposition of my heart
Cuz I took His position to rule these secret parts
Yes! Burn all the idols!
But sadly my idols are myself
Convinced I have the right to be depressed
the right to be upset
Because I’ve been right
And I was wronged
Didn’t ask for this pain
But this pain I embraced
And gave it life
While it took mine
And I did not realize
just how much time
I’ve been losing
Withdrawn in an abyss
that I’m creating
And you may know what I mean
Creating one yourself
But there’s no right to be depressed
No right to be upset
Because Jesus was right
And He was wronged
Didn’t ask for your pain
But your pain He embraced
That you would not have to embrace it again
Gave His life
to give us life
Won’t we realize
The love in His eyes
He can deliver
But if he doesn’t anyhow
Still endure
We must not bow
To pain, to depression
To shame, to frustration
To fear, to oppression
To filth or obsession
So to Him, give these secret parts
He is a mender of broken hearts
The morning is nigh
Keep up the fight
Victory cometh from on high
From the Lord of might
I will trust Him, though He slays
Running to Him with all this pain
Even if all these aches don’t go away
I choose to stand. I choose His grace.
