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. :)

xoxo, delali.

music monday// never too far gone

i've come to love it so much.

enjoy!

never too far gone~ jordan feliz

I have loved you from the start

I have seen your hurting heart (your hurting heart)

And you feel so lonely, but you keep on hiding

'Cause you feel so guilty for what you've done, but

There's no distance too far, that I can't reach you

There's no place that's so dark, that I can't find you

Anywhere that you are, if you need proof

Take a look at these scars, and know I love you

Doesn't matter, doesn't matter, doesn't matter what you've done

You are never, you are never, never too far gone

Oh ah-oh, ah-oh

You have run down every road

And you've lost your way back home (your way back home)

And you feel so dirty; you know you're unworthy

Feeling undeserving of any love, but

There's no distance too far, that I can't reach you

There's no place that's so dark, that I can't find you

Anywhere that you are, if you need proof

Take a look at these scars, and know I love you

Doesn't matter, doesn't matter, doesn't matter what you've done

You are never, you are never, never too far gone

Oh ah-oh, ah-oh

You will never outrun my love, my love, my love

You will never outrun my love, my love, my love

You will never outrun my love, my love, my love

You will never outrun my love (you will never outrun my love)

There's no distance too far, that I can't reach you

There's no place that's so dark, that I can't find you

Anywhere that you are, if you need proof

Take a look at these scars, and know I love you

Doesn't matter, doesn't matter, doesn't matter what you've done

You are never, you are never, never too far gone

Oh ah-oh, ah-oh

Never too far gone

Oh ah-oh, ah-oh

Never too far gone

Oh ah-oh, ah-oh

"God, investigate my life;
    get all the facts firsthand.
I’m an open book to you;
    even from a distance, you know what I’m thinking.
You know when I leave and when I get back;
    I’m never out of your sight.
You know everything I’m going to say
    before I start the first sentence.
I look behind me and you’re there,
    then up ahead and you’re there, too—
    your reassuring presence, coming and going.
This is too much, too wonderful—
    I can’t take it all in!"// psalm 139:1-6 (the message)

"The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness."// jeremiah 31:3

"Come now, let us settle the matter," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."// isaiah 1:18

you're never out of reach of our loving Lover, Jesus. He owns this world and universe. and there's nothing too horrible you have done that He wouldn't forgive if you ask Him. 

so go ahead and ask Him, accept His forgiveness and move on with your wonderful life as His Holy Spirit leads you day by day to live a life of purpose for Him. 

Jesus is awesome! 

He will always find you, no matter where you are, i promise!

stop fighting His love. embrace all of it, darling. :)

xoxo, delali.
