Forever My Friend

I adore this sappy song by one of my favorite artists. The lyrics make me swoon.  I guess I'll always be a hopeless romantic. :)

Ray Lamontagne | Forever My Friend

Who am I to tell her
Who am I to play God?
Who am I to think I can go it alone
Something tells me girl this is bringing you down
Something tells me girl this is bringing you down

We've been through some changes
Always seem to hold on
Lately it feel like you can't take anymore
Something tells me girl this is bringing you down
Something tells me girl this is bringing you down

Forever my friend
Forever my love
Forever the woman that I'm thinking of
I just think if we keep our hearts together
I just think if we build on this trust that we have for one another
Baby we can make this last a lifetime

Who am I to tell her
Who am I to play God?
I don't know just what's for real anymore
Something tells me girl this is bringing you down
Something tells me girl this is bringing you down

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Maybe it's the last thing you want to hear me say
I just think if we keep our hearts together
I just think if we build on this trust that we have for one another
Maybe we can make this last a lifetime

Forever my friend
Forever my love
Forever the woman
That I'm thinking of
I just think if we keep our hearts together
I just think if we build on this trust that we have for one another
Maybe we can make this last a lifetime

 

Will you let Me?

This morning I went to meet with God.

In the quiet place, in the stillness of my spirit, He asked me...



"Are you willing to scrap all of your elaborate plans? Lofty expectations? Wildest dreams?"

"Burn them?"

"Put them on the altar and burn them?"

"Remember I told you that I would give you your heart's desires?"

Take delight in the Lord and He will give you your heart's desires. {Ps. 37:4}

"Remember I told you that I wanted to give you something infinitely better and beyond anything that your beautiful but finite mind could conceive?"

No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him. {1 Cor. 2:9}

"I know what you want."

"Better yet, I know what you need."

"Better still, I know the deepest longings and desires of your heart."

"And I am the only One who can satisfy those longings and desires."

The One who calls you is faithful and He will do it. {1 Th. 5:24}

"The question is: 'Will you let Me?'"

 

Lord, I Believe! {Help My Unbelief!}

“Believe ye that I am able to do this?” (Matt. 9:28)

God deals with impossibilities.  It is never too late for Him to do so, when the impossible is brought to Him, in full faith, by the one in whose life and circumstances the impossible must be accomplished if God is to be glorified.  If in our own life there have been rebellion, unbelief, sin, and disaster, it is never too late for God to deal triumphantly with these tragic facts if brought to Him in full surrender and trust.  It has often been said, and with truth, that Christianity is the only religion that can deal with man’s past.  God can “restore the years that the locust hath eaten” (Joel 2:25); and He will do this when we put the whole situation and ourselves unreservedly and believingly into His hands.  Not because of what we are but because of what He is.  God forgives and heals and restores.  He is “the God of all grace.”  Let us praise Him and trust Him. —Sunday School Times
