Carry On....

There is just something about music that touches me, and that brings out my emotions; sets me in a thoughtful frame of mind. Music speaks to my heart. Today, as I was going about my morning, listening to my iPod and thinking about my blog post, I heard this song "Carry On" by Kutless. I just had to stop for a moment and listen, and of course (because of the emotional person I am) tears came running down my face. 

There is strength in my weakness
That only comes from You
There is power in meekness
That I have found in You
Where else can I go

I don't think there has ever been a time in my life that I have noticed my weaknesses so plainly as I have in the past 2 years. And to often I let myself get discouraged over that, this is nothing more than my human pride at work. For, whatever brings me to my knees in weakness is a good thing, right? Because, in the midst of my weakness, Gods strength is made perfect. 

You know I'm weak
I know You're strong
You say when I'm broken
And can't carry on
Carry on
When all my strength is gone
You're still holding on
There is love for the lonely
That only comes from You
There is peace and forgiveness
That I have found in You
Where else can I go
You are the Way
You are the light
You are the voice calling me through the night
(You are Holy and just
Full of mercy and love
You are patient and kind
Your grace has opened my eyes)


There is true value in weakness 
because it helps me view my life under the light of God's mercy.


2 Corinthians 12:9 || "But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me."



My thoughts for the day(:
Love and Blessings always.

    1. Thank you. It must be God working through me, cause I myself am weak in the flesh....But with God, I can do all things. Right?
