music monday// remind me who i am

There’s a way that the drudgery of life can leave us so weary and forgetful of who we are. Not forgetting all the negative people who try to speak lies into our lives. It’s so easy to forget who we are in Christ, but we need to constantly refresh our spirits by reading the timeless gems of truth in the Scriptures about who we are.

You are not an addition to the masses. You are not a wandering soul. You are special, you have purpose beating within your heart. God calls you friend, so why don’t you spend some time in conversational intimacy with Him by reading and meditating on His Word, praying and listening to His voice and direction, singing His Truth over your soul? Try it and watch your soul breathe.

 remind me who i am~jason gray

When I lose my way, when I forget my name,

Remind me who I am.

In the middle of the sea, no I don’t wanna be

Remind me who I am

In the loneliest places

When I forget what grace is

Tell me once again who I am to You, who I am to You

Tell me lest I forget who I am to You

That I belong to You.

When my heart is like a stone

And I’m wandering far from Home,

Remind me who I am.

When I can’t receive Your love

Afraid that I’ll never be enough

Remind me who I am

If I’m Your beloved can You help me believe it.

I’m the one You love, I’m the one You love

That will be enough, I’m the one You love

“since you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.” Isaiah 43:4

“therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here!” 2 corinthians 5:17

“therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1

“to Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve His God and Father- to Him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.” Revelations 1:5-6

“therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” Colossians 3:12

“for He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight…in Him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will.” Ephesians 1:4,11

If you’re forgetting who You are in Christ as a child of God, please do read the Scriptures and be reminded of the precious person You are to the important Being ever! It’s sure to change how you see yourself and the world around and beyond you.

music monday// we won't be shaken

Have you ever been through something that completely overwhelmed you and you thought that was the end of you? Well, you are still here, reading my words this very moment. By His mercies we are not consumed.

When the God of Abraham is your Father, He gives you strength through Holy Spirit to keep you going even when you don’t know how you’re going to survive. He keeps you sane through the crazy and pumps hope into your weary soul. This song reminds me that no matter what, so far as I am rooted in Christ, I will never be shaken out of the future He has spoken into my life.

we won’t be shaken~ building 429 

This world has nothing for me,

this life is not my own

I know You go before me,

I am not alone

This mountain rises higher,

the way seems so unclear

But I know that You go with me,

so I will never fear

I will trust in You

Whatever will come our way,

Through fire or pouring rain

We won’t be shaken, no, we won’t be shaken

Whatever tomorrow brings,

Together we’ll rise and say

That we won’t be shaken, no, we won’t be shaken.

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

No, we won’t be shaken

You know my every longing

You’ve heard my every prayer

You’ve held me in my weakness

Cause You were always there

So I’ll stand in full surrender

It’s Your way and not my own

My mind is set on nothing else

But You and You alone.

I will not be moved, no.

We will trust in You,

We will not be moved

We will trust in You

And we won’t be shaken

We will trust in You,

We will not be moved

We will trust in You

And we won’t be shaken

We will trust in You,

We will not be moved

We will trust in You

And we won’t be shaken

No, we won’t be shaken.

“I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With Him at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.” Psalm 16:8

“truly He is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I shall never be shaken.” Psalm 62:2

“Lord, i know that people's lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps." jeremiah 10:23

“my salvation and my honor depend on God, He is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge.” Psalm 62:7-8

“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” Isaiah 26:3

“when you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.” Isaiah 43:2

Keep speaking Life into your life. Let the Scriptures become so personal to You by meditating on them. As you keep obeying God, remember that you will not be shaken out of all that He’s called to you! Be encouraged!

music monday// love is taking over

The love of my Beloved is what courses through my veins. His purpose for my life is what wakes me up each morning.

 Jesus is the reason why I have this blog, He has changed the way I perceive things. because of Him I’m careful to have my love glasses on. His love is bound to change the way you dress, think, what you read, watch, listen to, the people you consistently surround yourself with. Jesus changes your life for the better.

 love is taking over~ taylor holder

Everything that once was dust

Now breathes life by Your love

And everyone once locked away

Now stands in light, You are the key

Your love is changing me,

This love it sets me free

Love is taking over

Love is taking over

Love is bursting out the seams

Your love, it sets me free

Every sin once led astray

now put to death everyday

and every thought that once was dark

now follows close after Your heart

this Love, it sets me free

and I will go where You lead

this Love, it sets me free

and I will go where You lead

this Love, it sets me free

and I will go where You lead

love is taking over

Love is taking over

Love is bursting out the seams

Your love, it sets me free

“then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ Isaiah 6:8

“…He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.” Isaiah 61:1

“so if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36

music monday// swallowing death, breathing life

Hi giys!!! I hope you’ve had a meaningful and lovely easter celebration. today’s song is one I’ve come to love to listen to and sing! Many people find it hard to believe the fact that Jesus died and was raised by God to life. Well, this walk with God is by faith and the Scriptures attest to all the historical details we need to believe.

via

The unchangeable truth is that Jesus did die for our sins and God glorified Him by raising Him from the dead on the third day. As John 3:16 says “for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

swallowing death, breathing life~ john tibbs

Death has no hold on me,

Fear’s lost, I’ve been redeemed

Jesus has made me heir.

To joy that’s found in peace

Grace, hope and wondrous things

That which may not appear on earth here, below

On earth here, below

You raised Your right hand,

Swallowed death and despair

With Your unfailing love

You breathed Life into my soul

You breathed Life into my soul

Like ocean’s foaming rage,

Your love destroys all hate

Jesus has conquered death.

My sin, it has no name

My shame, has been erased

For You have paid my debt on earth here, below

On earth here, below

Holy, holy, holy are You Lord

Holy, holy, holy are You Lord

Holy, holy, holy are You Lord

Holy, holy, holy are You Lord

Holy are You Lord, Holy are You Lord.

“she will give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21

“He (Jesus) began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that He must be killed and after three days rise again.” Mark 8:31

“it was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, ‘Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit.’ When He had said this, He breathed His last. The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, ‘surelythis was a righteous man.’ “ luke 23:44-47

“as they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. ‘don’t be alarmed,’ he said. ‘you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.” mark 16:5-6

“you killed the author of Life, but God raised Him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.” Acts 3:15

“for what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.” 1 corinthians 15:3-4

“surely He took our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered Him punished by God, stricken by Him, and afflicted. But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed.” Isaiah 53:4-5

“…day and night they never stop saying: “holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.” ” revelations 4:8

If you have not decided to believe in Jesus for the salvation of your soul, I urge you now to please do believe. His plan for your life will bring you an inner peace and your life will be more meaningful and eternally purposeful. He is always ready to listen when you talk to Him. believing in Him doesn’t mean everything will automatically become perfect, no. but you sure will find meaning and have a profound peace through the issues of your life. And heaven will await you! How splendid!

and if you already believe in Him but you’re not being passionate about pursuing Him, it’s time to wake up!  I hope you don’t just go through the motions of this celebration season, I hope you remember that Jesus is the center of it all and He yearns to be at the center of your very life.
