I’m in love with two songs these days: You Say and The Way, I’ll share the videos at the end.
It been an incredible 3 years. I don’t know how I got here, seriously. But here I am and I keep waking up and showing up. It’s hard most days, and I never know when a wave of sorrow will wash over me.
I spend much of my time alone these days and I’m slowly (tortious slow) getting used to it. So it’s either tv or crochet or… I do go to church on Sundays and to Bible study on Thursday’s…these are my social life. I go to the grocery store…this is my exercise and quiet time.
But lets – (STOP for FMF). get to the prompt. Loved and the two songs. They speak to how and who I am in Christ. Just a few weeks ago I said to my loved minister/mentor that I didn’t know if I was a mature Christian. She lovingly said that I was. Yet, sometimes I continue to question where I am in faith. Enter the songs that simplified that question.
Listening to the fairly new Lauren Daigle #LaurenDaigle song, You Say #YouSay the Holy Spirit rose within me and hugged me tightly as I listened, replayed, and gain as I soaked up the love of God. We make faith so hard, putting rules and measurements on faith when it is really quite simple.
The Word says that we ARE Loved. For the sake of time, I’ll give you these scriptures to look up…it’s always better to check the Bible yourself, especially for context.
- Zephaniah 3:17
- Romans 5:2-5 and 5:8
This line in Daigle’s song tears me up, to actual crying:
”You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing”
She ends of this chorus with, ”I believe… I believe what you say of me.”
You Say -Lauren Daigle
The Word tells us simply…We must believe. Believe in what Christ Jesus did for us on the cross. Jesus, The Word, is alive and we must believe this with/in faith.
I believe I am loved when I literally (still at times) don’t feel a thing.
The song #TheWay by #Housefires clears up faith for us, quite simply. The lyrics are right out of scripture, specifically John 14:6.
I have a pet peeve, while I believe we are still living in the concept of the Book of Acts, I wonder often while others think they need books outside of the Bible to know God and His plans. I’m huge on ”go to the source”. The Bible is clear and simple, though I also firmly believe one needs Bible Truth teaching church and like-minded fellowship, regularly.
Housefire’s is directly from God’s Word and it truly is Alive.
Again we are taught to believe, by faith that God is. Throughout the some are the lines, punctuated as complete.
”I believe” and ”I believe You are ”. Simple.
The Scriptures again are lovingly stitched into the entire song. I Loved this song immediately and again I play it repeatedly.
So as I join you I encourage us to seek God’s Word only through His Word, the Bible. Go to the source. And as we begin to believe more our faith grows much more.
We begin to believe we are Loved, unconditionally, no matter our circumstances.
