I have a few friends who are dealing with deaths in their family. I know all to well all of the emotions, thoughts, feelings that come along with losing someone you love. There is sadness of knowing we won't have them present physically anymore, but at the same time we have belief that we will see them again in heaven. My heart goes out to them and I want to offer my condolences, and share some words through song to let them know that everything will be ok. Time heals all wounds. We can and will gain strength with by leaning on our faith in God, surrounding ourselves with supportive friends, and allow ourselves grieving time. Nothing good comes out of things that are forced.
At times like these we should praise and thank God for the time we had with the special people in our lives. We should exalt Him and worship Him for who He is and what He has brought us through. Trading my Sorrows expresses to God that we will trade our sorrows, pain, sickness, and shame for the joy of the Lord. We know that God is awesome and He can handle ALL things, we just have to GIVE them to HIM. Trading my Sorrows
When we are dealing with something that is bigger than us, we have to give it to someone that's BIGGER than us! That someone is Jesus. Understanding that we can't heal ourselves, we can't deliver ourselves brings us to the point that we recognize that we need help. We were made to relate to one another as well as the Lord. Singing and listening to songs of strength, worship and praise about the source of our being, joy, and strength activates the BALM that only God has. It takes our mind off of the problem and opens the door for the solution, which is a better day, the strength to move forward, not forgetting about our loved ones, but remembering who they are, who they loved, knowing all is well in our souls. Lord I lift your name on high.
God sacrificed His only Son so that we could have eternal life. This is the hope that we hold on to when events happen that appear wrong, something has hurt us, or we lose a loved one be it friend or family. We can continue to lift God's name on high!! God is great and worthy to be praise. All we have to do is reflect on where we were in life and where we are today. His wonders and works will be seen by everyone. How Great Is Our God.
I want everyone to know that God is good. There is nothing He can't do. He is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. He stands at the door waiting on us to invite Him into our lives, day, situation, mind, and heart. He truly is faithful. He will never let us down. Faithful So whether you are dealing with strife on your job, stress in your home, lack of understanding about things your family or friends are doing, and even where God is leading you, keep Him 1st. Add Him in if He isn't already. Start your day with some time with the Lord, check in with Him throughout the day, and end it with Him.
I love the Lord and I love you too!! In all that you do, take some time to have a Muse-ik Moment :)
