SET APART

Ok, over the past couple of weeks I have been a bit slack with blog posting, but my good friend Natalie has encouraged me to keep it up. Her encouragement came at exactly the right time, because over the past couple of days I have been fiercely overcoming some issues that have kept me bound for quite a few years. I finally found the source of my depressive thoughts and actions. On and off over the past 6 -7 years I have dealt with fought with my self image. At some points I have had great self confidence, whilst at other points I have been as low as wanting to end it all for myself. However, whilst listening to a Joyce Myer preaching I finally realised what my problem was. I honestly didn't know who I was in Christ. I mean, I thought I did, but her preaching – and the prompting of the Holy Spirit made me realise that I really didn't. So, what now that I knew what the problem was, what was I going to do about it?

Immediately the answer came to me – I needed to quote scripture to myself daily, hourly, moment by moment. I needed to build myself up in the word of God. So, I ran into my room and rummaged through my cupboard to find a set of "I am Statements that I had been given quite some time back and began saying to myself "I AM a child of God" " I am an overcomer by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of my testimony" "I am made whole in Christ Jesus" "I am strong in the lord and in His MIGHTY power". As soon as I did this I felt a surge of energy go through my body. I knew that I had finally found the key. I was existing – but now I was moving forward. I am determined to continue with this breakthrough. I am NOT going to be overcome once again. Jesus is my Lord and Saviour and I am going to be a witness to His power and loving grace!

I have always had this great desire to dance for my Lord Jesus Christ, and I know that He created me with this purpose in mind. I see myself dancing in pure white, bring glory to His name. So, when I say the word of God over my life I see myself dancing for him - and speak life into the dream. I have recognised that Dreams dont just come true, we have to make the come true!

The words of this song continuously encourage me and let me know that I am SET APART for GREATNESS. My Lord created me for a special purpose. He created you for a special purpose to, do you know what it is?

"The Letter"

~Newsboys~

I wrote you a letter
Things could be better
Full of promises, every hope and dream
Did you get it
Have you read it
Talks about you and me
And the future, you see
Something no one can do
Is take the place of you
Can't you see you're....one of a kind

CHILD, YOU'RE LIKE A STAR
SET APART
SET APART FROM THE START OF THE WORLD
THIS IS YOUR TIME
RISE AND SHINE
CHILD, YOU'RE ONE OF A KIND

Sometimes every thing's too much
Like the deepest cut
You hurt to be touched
When you hear it
If you feel it
Don't let it have its way
I'm writing to say
Something no one can do
Is take the place of you
Oh can't you see you're...one of a kind

[Repeat Chorus]

I know it's hard to hear promises
When the blue has turned to grey
Nobody said it was easy
But I know you'll find your way

[Repeat Chorus]

Cry Out To Jesus

Right now I just had to share these lyrics with you. I was sitting down at the computer doing some study when my playlist clicked over to this song. Suddenly the words sucked me in to the presence of the Lord and I was crying on the floor. It is my cry that everyone finds their hope in Jesus like I have done. He is the only one in this world that can make life worth living. He is the one who has repaired my life and brought healing to my broken life. I urge anyone who is having a rough time to cry out to Jesus.

Please, listen and read the words of this song. Let it penetrate through your being…“Just remember that you are not alone in your pain and your suffering”

Cry Out To Jesus

~Third Day~

To everyone who's lost someone they love
long before it was their time.
You feel like the days you had were not enough
when you said goodbye.

And to all of the people with burdens and pains
keepin' you back from your life.
You believe that there's nothing
and there is no one who can make it right.

There is hope for the helpless, rest for the weary,
and love for the broken hearts.
There is grace and forgiveness, mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are.

Cry out to Jesus. Cry out to Jesus.

For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on
They lost all of their faith in love.
and they've done all they can to make it right again
still it's not enough.

For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains
you try to give up but you come back again.
Just remember that you're not alone
in your shame and your suffering.

There is hope for the helpless, rest for the weary,
and love for the broken hearts.
There is grace and forgiveness, mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are.

Cry out to Jesus.

When you're lonely and it feels like the whole world is falling on you
you just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus

Cry to Jesus.

To the widow who suffers from being alone,
wipin' the tears from her eyes.
For the children around the world without a home,
say a prayer tonight.

There is hope for the helpless, rest for the weary,
and love for the broken hearts.
There is grace and forgiveness, mercy and healing
that meets you wherever you are.
There is hope for the helpless, rest for the weary,
and love for the broken hearts.
There is grace and forgiveness, mercy and healing
that meets you wherever you are.

Cry out to Jesus. Cry out to Jesus.

Cry out to Jesus. Cry out to Jesus.
