" But by the Grace of God, I am what I am, and His Grace towards me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I , but the grace of God which was in me."- 1 Corin 15:10

Hi friends,

Its been a while since I've jotted down something. Hope you are doing fine in His Grace! I recently came across this beautiful song which has ministered to me through some of the toughest phases in my life!It is a song that comes straight from the Father's heart and resonates with every fiber of my being. Hope it blesses you as much as it blessed me!

No matter who we are, how old or young we are or from which part of the world we come from, it is a common factor that we all want to be understood, accepted and loved. However, often we may be  misunderstood, rejected  and even hated by people who think they know what we are. Yet, we can be grateful for the few people in our life who know us inside and out, our failures and victories, our strengths and weaknesses and love us deeply for who we are. Such is the love of our Loving Father, our Creator. In Psalms 139:13- 16 it says " You knitted me together in my mother's womb....Your workmanship is marvelous! ....You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed." This means that no matter what we think or feel or others tell us , we are no accident. We are created by Our Father God for a definite time and purpose. Since He crafted us with His hands , none of what we say, think, do or imagine surprises Him. According to Luke 12 :17 : "Even the number of our hairs is known by Him." That is how intimately He knows us and how unconditionally He loves us. 

Often in life we have to put our best foot forward before we approach people but with God we can come just as we are... there is only love and acceptance for us; His children! Just like a small puppy who has rolled in a muddy puddle and rushes to his Master when He hears him coming, we too can rush into the loving arms of our Lord & Savior no matter how broken and shattered we may be. People may doubt us or speak bad about us but we have a God who sees and knows us and will take us and cleanse us with His Holy Blood and fill us with His Living Word. As David sings in Psalms 40:1-3 : The Lord picked me up from the miry clay, set my feet on a rock to stay; put a song in my mouth to sing ...a song of Praise to my Lord & King." That's what our Lord does with us;  so we can always rest with this assurance in our Heart that our Lord loves us so much that He gave His only begotten Son Jesus to die on the Cross of Calvary for us so that we could enjoy abundant life here on earth and ever after. (John 3:16)

Hope you are blessed and do enjoy this wonderful video of this song by City Alight . Always remember that no matter where you are at this point in your life.  You are known , You are loved! 💓
