Child lift up your head....

   Sometimes this world does unbelievable, unspeakable things to the ones we love and to us. And we can't understand why this is happening to us, why this is happening to them....???

'It's not FAIR!!" I shout at the sky, in my room on my knees crying out to God. With my lips I don't blame Him but in my heart I am asking 'Why? Why did this have to happen??" I ALWAYS get an answer from God... even if its not always the one I want to hear. He says "Trust in me, Trust me with this. I will carry this for you. Just give it over to me. Surrender to me! And watch what I can do." 

We serve an understanding God... Amen! No matter how many times we hang our head in shame at the things we have done in our past He lifts us up and reminds us that He has set us free! We are no longer held down by the chains of sin, we are washed pure, sanctified by His blood. And I know His blood will never lose its power to heal the brokenhearted, to heal the sick, & to convict the lost. Our God is not limited! Let Him use you for His glory!!

Redeemed by Big Daddy Weave

Seems like all I can see was the struggle

Haunted by ghosts that lived in my past

Bound up in shackles of all my failures

Wondering how long is this gonna last

Then You look at this prisoner and say to me "son

Stop fighting a fight that's already been won"

I am redeemed, You set me free

So I'll shake off theses heavy chains

Wipe away every stain now I'm not who I used to be

I am redeemed

All my life I have been called unworthy

Named by the voice of my shame and regret

But when I hear You whisper, "Child lift up your head"

I remember oh God, You're not done with me yet

Don't let your past stop you from being used by God. He created us with a purpose. If you're 5 or 100, God can use you. Don't give up...just give in. Give in to His love and strength. His way is perfect....
