music monday// beloved

 hi! :)

dropping in to remind you that you are loved!

i hope you soak the truth of this song into your lovely soul

 

 via

Head full of questions, how can you measure up?
To deserve affection, to ever be enough
For this existence
When did it get so hard?
Your heart is beating, alive and breathing
And there's a reason why
You are essential, not accidental
And you should realize

You are beloved
I wanted you to know
You are beloved
Let it soak into your soul
Oh, forget the lies you heard
Rise above the hurt
And listen to these words
You are beloved
I want you to know
You are beloved
You-ou-ou, you-ou-ou, you, you are beloved

Sometimes a heart can feel like a heavy weight
It pulls you under and you just fall away
Is anybody gonna hear you call? (Oh oh)
But there's a purpose
Under the surface
And you don't have to drown
Let me remind you
That love will find you
Let it lift you out

 Don't be afraid
Don't let hope fade
Keep your eyes fixed on the light above
In the heartbreak, in your mistakes
Nothing can separate you from love

Don't be afraid
Don't let hope fade
Keep you eyes fixed on the light above
In the heartbreak, in your mistakes
Nothing can separate you from love

 Don't be afraid
Don't let hope fade
Keep your eyes fixed on the light above (you are beloved)
In the heartbreak, in your mistakes
Nothing can separate you from love
You are beloved

 But now, this is what the Lord says—
    he who created you, Jacob,
    he who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
    I have summoned you by name; you are mine. 

 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. 

 For I am the Lord your God,
    the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I give Egypt for your ransom,
    Cush and Seba in your stead. 

 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. 

 Do not be afraid, for I am with you;
    I will bring your children from the east
    and gather you from the west. 

 I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’
    and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’
Bring my sons from afar
    and my daughters from the ends of the earth— 

 everyone who is called by my name,
    whom I created for my glory,
    whom I formed and made.” //isaiah 43

no matter what negative words someone has spoken that has slayed your heart and 

no matter who has made you feel rejected and unwanted, the truth is you are so loved, beloved. 

focus on the love of Jesus and find your worth and identity in His precious word.

you're going to be so OK, buddy. :)

music monday// you are loved

hi lovelies!
dropping in to remind you that you are absolutely loved despite your flaws and what you think is imperfection about you. :)

you are loved ~ stars go dim

We hide pain in the weirdest places

Broken souls with smiling faces

Fighting for surrender

For now and the after, yeah

Just look around and you'll see that people

Are scared to say how they really feel

Oh, we all need a little honesty

You are loved

If your heart's in a thousand pieces

If you're lost and you're far from reason

Just look up; know you are loved

Just look up; and know you are loved

When it feels like something's missing

If it hurts but you can't find healing

Just look up, know you are loved

Just look up, know you are loved

We're not made to be superheroes

Photoshopped, all size zeroes

A light not expected

But not quite perfected yet

Look up; see the sun is shining

There's hope on a new horizon

Calling you, it's calling

You, don't have to prove yourself, don't try to be someone else

You don't have to prove yourself

Don't try to be someone else

You are loved

Just look up; you are loved

Just look up; you are loved

Just look up; you are loved, just look up

"So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:

They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.

None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us."// romans 8:31-38

music monday// God is on the move

hiiii! so it's november already!!!

i remember when january peered its head into view and now here we are, already in the first week of the penultimate month of the year! woohooo!!!

so i'd like to share this song to encourage you. you may be feeling like you're a bit behind in the things the Lord has laid on your heart to do or you may be going through some things wondering where He is.

relax. God is around. He is on the move in your life.

Anytime a heart turns from darkness to light

Anytime temptation comes and someone stands to fight

Anytime somebody lives to serve and not be served

I know, I know, I know, I know

God is on the move, on the move

Hallelujah

God is on the move

In many mighty ways

God is on the move, on the move

Hallelujah

God is on the move

On the move today

Anytime in weakness someone falls upon their knees

Or dares to speak the truth that sets men free

Anytime the choice is made to stand upon the Word

I see your generation standing on the truth
In each and everyday saying God is on the move
Anytime the Gospel stirs a searching souls 
And someone says “send me, here I go”

I see your generation standing on the truth
In each and everyday saying God is on the move

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" // isaiah 6:8

do not give up on God and His wonderful promises to you. 

He. is. on. the. move. :)

xoxo, delali.
