Heart of an Overcomer

Powered by Blogger.


Sing to me the song of the stars
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far 
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again ~ lyrics, "ONLY HOPE"

There's a melody in each of our hearts, a beautiful strain that can't be contained. It has been planted in our soul by the infinite One. The wonder of the universe, and the great welling desire to be loved and belong.

Because of sin, humanity is left with a missing piece in their souls. So often mankind fills this void with anything and everything that they think will complete them. 

It doesn't. They are left empty, and alone. 

But God is there all along. He has the piece that completes. The missing piece to the puzzle is in His hand. 

That's when He breaths into our hearts the love He has for us, the plans he has in store, the completeness He can offer. 

He's our only hope.

So, lifting our hands, bowing our heads, opening our hearts, let us allow God to complete us. 

We must surrender our destiny, our plans, everything we were and are now to the One - the only One who can provide peace and completeness for our soul.

When we surrender to Him, He fills the dark void with His light - the light that gave dimension and breathtaking beauty to the galaxies. 

Then, our one desire will be to belong to Him. And our heart-song? To be a part of his endless symphony of love.

Lord , I'm in the dark, Seems to me the line is dead when I come calling. No one there, the sky is falling; Lord, I need to know. My mind is playing games again, You're right where You have always been. Take me back to You, The place that I once knew as a little child; Constantly the eyes of God watched over me. Oh, I want to be In the place that I once knew as a little child... "I will rest in You"

When your mind is running ahead of God's plan, when waiting is painful and dreaming occupies your days, remember to just rest in God. Remember to be as a little child - in faith, trusting that what you do not understand right not, what you can't see,  what seems to make no sense at this moment is known by our loving Heavenly Father.

There is a beauty, a peace in just resting. In saying, "Lord, I don't know much, and what I think I know is nothing compared to your infinite mind. So, I rest in Your plans, Your ways, Your love."

But this means in no way that we should stand idle. Look for that job, search for the home, pray for a soul-mate, but never lose your child-like faith and the simplicity of just resting in God's hands.

When your mind seems to be playing tricks on you, when you can't seem to see a clear path for your feet, "look up".

Just as Pilgrim in Pilgrims Progress had to look at the light above him when he went through the slough of despair so that the steps would become visible, so we should look to heaven when things become unclear and uncertain.

Open your Bible, ask Godly council, pray continually - and the way will become visible to your stumbling heart. The answer might be "wait" and that waiting time will be exactly what you need to prepare for the soul journey ahead.

But the answer will come and when it does, when the steps are illuminated - take them. Don't hesitate. Move forward confidently, for heaven has made a way for you to walk through even the most difficult situations.

Just rest, knowing that God will make a way when there's none. He will make a path when there's an ocean of impossibility between. When there's no oasis for miles around a spring will well up from the very desert. You are in good, good hands.

So trust as a child trusts its parent implicitly. "Trust and obey! There's no other way to be happy, but to trust and obey"

And rest, knowing that God has everything in His hands and is watching over you, guiding each step - each heartbeat - each breath.

Many times life brings us down. The enemy of our souls wants more than ever to destroy the good, the joy in our lives, the light of God in our hearts. 

When you've been dragged down, when your heart is anguished, and you think there is no way - when discouragement takes over. When you feel like you were not "cut out" to do the task before you.

Let me tell you this: because of God's Word, I KNOW God is not finished with you. It will all work out in the end if you follow God and trust Him.  

If your life doesn't seem to have worked out yet— it isn’t the end! As long as your heart is beating in your chest, there remains hope of a better tomorrow. 

Never forget we serve a God whose Son was dead—until he wasn’t. God can make a way where there is no way. So, be encouraged! God has a perfect plan for you and He's working on your heart and in your life as long as there's breath.

Even if you feel that you've "messed up", God does not leave nor forsake. He will be there, ready for you to once more let Him lead. He will be your comfort, your peace, and your hope. 

So take comfort, God has begun a work in you, and I know that He will faithfully take it through every hurdle, every dark night, every arrow the enemy hurls your way - to completion. 

Then, all will make sense. When we stand on the sea of glass and sing with the ransomed the song of the redeemed and the Lamb - a song even the angels can't sing, everything will be worth it. Because it was through trials we have learned this song, it was through the depths of deep anguish over sin that our heart-strings tuned to the melody, and it was through the redeeming love and sacrifice of Jesus which freed us from the bondage of sin that we can worship and bow down to the KING OF KINGS. 

Truly, that day everything will become crystal clear. We now see through a glass darkly, but then face to face. Everything will make sense. It will all be worth the struggle.

And until that day, let us lift our hands to God in the storm. But never, no never give up.
Never question our lineage to the heavenly King. Never wonder about God's love for us.
His love is constant. Unwavering. 

Thanks be to God - He's definitely not finished with you!

The question is: will you wait on God? Wait on Him to work in His way, timing, and perfect plan? 

PRAYER:

Lord, when the enemy throws his arrows of discouragement my way, give me hope. When life seems to drag me down and I'm losing my way, show me Your plan. Help me to remember that You, Lord, are in control. Thank-you that You are not finished with me and that as long as I have life, you are doing your work in me. Give me your peace through the storm. Give me your love. Conquer the enemy today in my heart. Give me the victory through your grace and love. I'm waiting on you LORD.

AMEN
