love came down

*so far the most difficult days but i am GRACED to overcome*

 love came down- Brian Johnson

If my heart is overwhelmed and I cannot hear your voice

I hold onto what is true, though I cannot see
If the storms of life they come, and the road ahead gets steep
I will lift these hands in faith, I will believe

I remind myself of all that you’ve done
And the life I have because of your son

Love came down and rescued me
Love came down and set me free
 
I am yours
I am forever yours
Mountain high or valley low
I sing out and remind my soul
I am yours
I am forever yours
  
When my heart is filled with hope, and every promise comes my way
When I feel your hands of grace, rest upon me
Staying desperate for you God, Staying humbled at your feet
I will lift these hands and praise, I will believe

Lately, I have began reading these books. I was in the middle of Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire when I bought WarriorChicks. Both books really helped me go through this odd season of my life now. I am not done with them but I go through them alternately depending on the feel.

Anyways, God is good. I was at Reload cafe yesterday. During worship time, I heard our worship leader say "Do not linger on your failures or your success. Surrender it all to Jesus. " I was so cut to the heart because all this time I still have this issue of carrying the baggage of my past. I think whenever I drop it off somewhere, it has this ability to follow me vehemently (and visits me on FB too!). I knelt before the Lord and asking for GRACE... and it came. I knew the enemy is just trying to lure me into his lies, so I called unto Jesus for truth (John.14:1). There, God impressed in my heart to forgive a specific person that had caused me so much shame. (I think) I have forgiven him for a long time (and quite many times) but I cannot question God's wisdom, so I did what He asked. Peace came as a response while the worship leader again says "More to come." Indeed, there's more to come! I am not afraid because I am a warrior!
