This is such a beautiful video to follow along with. While reading the lyrics, scripture is also there to bring you such peace, hope, and strength. I love God's word. I know people say it is written by men, but it was men who walked, and talked, and experienced God of the old testament, and Jesus our Savior of the new testament. It's their experiences, their story, and what God wanted written in His book. To help us, to guide us, to keep us pressing on until our purpose is fulfilled here.
That is why I love to write. It's my experiences with God. They become my stories. Are my experiences and stories a lie? Think what you want. I have experienced the LIVING GOD!!! If the new testament can still be written and put on bookshelves, there wouldn't be enough room on earth of all the stories that would still be told to this very day. I'm sorry if you haven't experienced Him, and have no one to thank for all the goodness in your life. Like waking up and having breath for that day. That doesn't just happen. There is a Creator who allows you to breath. I have a lot to say, and much to be thankful for!
"Who can compare" to You my King, is something I say everyday to my Jesus. "I looked and I found that there's no one in all the earth."
1 Thessalonians 5:11, "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up"..... Where has God brought you? What are the things He's showed you about Himself? Our scars become our story and people are watching. Your family, your grandchildren, your children, yes, even your enemies. How are you living out your legacy?
Take everything, all the hard parts of life, the failures, the hurts, the losses, give them to Jesus, and all for His glory. Stumbling is a part of the race here on earth. Pick yourself up and keep going. No matter how tired you went to bed the night before, God always invites us each new day to draw from His NEVER ENDING supply of wisdom and strength. Romans 11: 33, Oh, what a wonderful God we have? How great are His riches and wisdom and knowledge."
I want to leave behind how I loved people with all my might. Well really, with all of what God had to give through me. Job 12: 13, “With God are wisdom and might; he has counsel and understanding." Praying that they would allow God to use them no matter how much it hurt. Until God says it's finished, then keep going. Take His hand, and let Him lead you on. He will show you the way to real life. This life can be very exciting when you realize it's NOT ABOUT YOU! It's about God and His kingdom purposes.
I am not guaranteed life, or even my health tomorrow. Everything can change in an instant. So I choose to live the abundant life Jesus died to give me today. Telling God, if He needs to change my plans today just show me. Because helping others is always a part of my day and joy.
