The Next Chapter
"For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned ..."John 3:17-18b
Believes in him. I have seen the power of prayer. Yesterday I visited a young lady in the hospital, she was injured seriously 4 weeks ago. She spent 2 weeks in a coma. I pray for her everytime she comes to my mind. I share my prayers with her mother, who has sat a vigil by her side. Yesterday when I visited her, she grabbed my hand, and sat up for a hug. I almost cried. I told her I will continue to pray and she will be strong and continue to get better. Today she was supposed to move to a rehab hospital...... A miracle she is alive, a miracle she is improving daily. Prayer.
When I don't know what to do, or what to say, I pray. I believe in him, and I know it is through him I will be saved.
"East To West" - Casting Crowns
(this was the first Christian song that really hit home for me)
Here I am, Lord, and I'm drowning in your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest
I don't want to end up where You found me
And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight
I know You've cast my sin as far as the east is from the west
And I stand before You now as though I've never sinned
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way
Jesus, can You show me just how far the east is from the west
'cause I can't bear to see the man I've been come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
'cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
I start the day, the war begins, endless reminding of my sin
Time and time again Your truth is drowned out by the storm I'm in
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way
I know You've washed me white, turned my darkness into light
I need Your peace to get me through, to get me through this night
I can't live by what I feel, but by the truth Your word reveals
I'm not holding on to You, but You're holding on to me
You're holding on to me
Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west
I don't have to see the man I've been come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
'cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
One scarred hand to the other
From one scarred hand to the other
