GIVE US YOUR COURAGE (Soul Survivor)
I’m not backing down, I will stand my ground
Lifting high the Name of Jesus
Holding up the light
To a world in need, living out the love of Jesus
Though the battles rage, Your blessings still will come
To the end of the earth, we will go
To the end of the earth, we will go
Fill us with power
Fill us with power
For the truth of Your Word, we will stand
Give us Your courage, give us Your courage
We are strengthen
Till the battle’s won
Cause Your Face to shine upon us
Stretch your hands to say,
Our God never fails
Nothing is impossible with You
Would you breathe on us
Would you breathe on us
Would you breathe on us
To the ends of the earth, we will go
To the ends of the earth, we will go
I love the part of this song that says, I’m not backing down, I will stand my ground. It is truth that makes me look beyond my circumstances to the Truth of the Word. It’s a declaration to the enemy of my soul that says, “Who are you to daunt my God”? Fill us with power, Your power. We will stand on Your truth, no matter what we see, what is happening around us. Give us Your courage. Give us Your power. I am because You are. Your grace is enough for me, more than I need. I fall at Your feet and worship You. I recognize that all my strength comes from You. I am restored, I am redeemed by Your Spirit, I am free. Jesus, that precious, precious name.
Londyn story. She is learning to talk and likes doing it (imagine that????). Many times she just jibbers, I think she is trying to express thoughts in her head….but there are many, many times during the day that she calls my name. She says, “Meme”. She knows and understands my name and who I am. It is clear and you can easily recognize what she is saying. I love to hear her, my ears catch her every time she says it. If everyone in the room is talking, I can still hear, “Meme”, above all the other noises. It’s music to my ears, even as I think about it, I become emotional. I believe my heavenly Father hears me every time I call His name. I believe even if there are other people “in the room”, He would still “listen up” when He hears me call His name, Father. I know how much I love Londyn and as I have said before, it’s a small representation of the love that my Father in heaven has for me.
Thank You, Father. Thank You that You have bought me at a great price. Thank You that Your affection is turned toward me. Heal me, Lord, Make me more like You, so that I can impact others more with Your love and acceptance of them. Thank You, Lord for the privilege of coming home and knowing that You are there and always will be. I glorify You, Lord. Lord, I ask You to touch and heal the Clark family during their time of grief in losing a mother and a baby. Father, life is sometimes very difficult, “stuff” hurts. I know that You are there and I pray that You would put Your big arms around them as they walk through this storm. I ask You today to listen to the recipients of this email, to assure them that You are listening when they call Your Name, that Your heart is moved with their cries. Today I am
More Courageous,
Mary Ann
P.S. I do this by faith, I believe I am supposed to, but….honestly I would love to hear from some of you. Don’t forget my blog:
