the lyrics “How I wish we could go back to simpler times // Before all our scars and all our secrets were in the light // Now on this hallowed ground, we've drawn the battle lines // Will we make it through the night?” just have so much desert duo angst potential.
Glorious day" Glorious day (living he loved me) - Casting Crowns
A little ahead of Easter but this song came to mind today and it's one (of many) of my favorite "Casting Crowns" songs
As easter approaches, remember god's gift to you Remember everything Jesus endured and suffered and died on that cross for!
It should've been you and I on that cross but instead Jesus took all of our sin, shame and guilt and suffered through it all for us!! Glorious day indeed!! 🙌
Friend, if you need to hear this: “GOD LOVES YOU! Never forget that. He loves every single one of us! And HE put you on this Earth for a purpose! You are not a mistake!”
Your contribution to this world is priceless in God's sight. What other people say is irrelevant, because God says that you are precious. You were chosen by God (Jn 15:16); chosen before the foundation of the world (Eph 1:4); known and chosen before you were formed (Jer 1:5) You are the one God has been looking for.
Don't ever forget for a moment - no matter how you feel, no matter what people say, no matter what the devil whispers to you - that you have a PURPOSE, you are LOVED and you MATTER so much to God. Amen! 🙌
Here are the (abridged) lyrics to “Nobody” by Casting Crowns. The Bible is full of nobodies who did great things because God was with them and they did what God asked them to do. Friend, you too have a purpose and God will let you know what it is in His own time. Be proud of who God made you to be, because He loves you just as you are. Amen! 🙏🕊️🙌
“Why You ever chose me has always been a mystery. All my life I've been told I belong at the end of the line, with all the other not-quites, with all the never-get-it-rights. But it turns out they're the ones You were looking for all this time.
Moses had stage fright. When David brought a rock to a sword fight. You picked twelve outsiders nobody would have chosen and You changed the world. Well the moral of the story is everybody's got a purpose.
So when I hear that devil start talking to me saying, "Who do you think you are?" I say "I'm just a nobody, trying to tell everybody all about somebody who saved my soul." So let me go down in history as another blood-bought faithful member of a family. That's all I ever wanna be. And if they all forget my name, well that's fine with me.
Because I'm just a nobody, trying to tell everybody, all about somebody who saved my soul. Ever since You rescued me, You gave my heart a song to sing! I'm living for the world to see nobody but Jesus.”
There is hope for the broken hearted. God doesn't see us as a burden when we cry. He throws our sin as far as east is to the west and collects our tears. Such an awesome God ❤️
I just looked up today
And realized how far away I am from where You are
You gave me life worth dying for
But between the altar and the door
I bought the lies that promised more
And here I go again
When Sonic takes off, take your shoes off and stay home that day of school, watch TV until Sonic comes back. Student venture might be cancelled due to heavy rain falls now God can move mountains.
