I can breathe!

Well, it has been about a month since my last post and I can't say the road has been any less rocky. If anything a bit more. However, I was driving to work this morning I was reminded once again through music that all is well. I was starting to think in the quiet of the car and had to remind myself to take a deep breathe. I was starting to worry. I thought, put some music on so I put my cd on which happen to be David Crowder. I selected random and on came  Here's my life Lord. Beautiful song I have listened to many times, but still exactly what I needed this morning.
The words spoke to my heart in so many ways. First, right at the beginning " Here's my heart Lord." God knows my hurting heart, He knows my cares and concerns.  It goes on to say "Speak what is true." I have found myself too many times listening to lies like it is never going to get better, you weren't good enough, the situation is impossible and no one really cares, you don't matter. I so needed to be reminded to listen for the truth which the song then states. It says,

Cause I am found, I am Yours
I am loved, I'm made pure
I have life, I can breathe
I am healed, I am free

I was reminded that I am loved and cared for. That I can take that deep breath, relax and allow God's love to speak to my heart. To offer up my cares because He does care.  The song goes on to says,

Cause You are strong, You are sure
You are life, You endure
You are good, always true
You are light breaking through

I believe God gives us special people to help us remain strong, to show His love and concern to us. There are little lights of love breaking through whether it has been a reassuring hug or just an encouragement that I am not alone in this. He uses His word and music to bring hope.

So whatever you are going through, ask God to speak the truth to your heart. Be assured that even when all around you seems wrong that He is still good. He is still true. His heart grieves for us. Look for the ways He tries to bring healing to your heart and love. Maybe stop and be that person He uses for someone else. We can still be wounded healers, still caring for others while we have our own struggles. 

I will link this song to this. Take time and let your heart relax, just breathe!

Love and Prayers,
