Hello my friend… I remember when you were… So alive with your wide eyes… Then the light that you had in your heart was stolen… Now you say that it ain’t worth stayin’… You wanna run but you’re hesitatin’… I’m talkin’ to me…
Don’t let your lights go down… Don’t let your fire burn out… ‘Cause somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe… Why don’t you rise up now?
Don’t be afraid to stand out…
That’s how the lost get found!
So when you get the chance… Are you gonna take it? There’s a really big world at your fingertips… And you know you have the chance to change it… There’s a girl on the streets, she’s cryin’… There’s a man whose faith is dyin’…
Love is calling you!
Why do we go with the flow? Why take an easier road? Why are we playin’ it safe? Love came to show us the way… Love is a chance we should take… I’m movin’ out of the gray!
Stand out!!
You know you have the chance to change it!!
Love is calling you!!
Take the chance!
Luke 15: 4-24
The Parable Of The Lost Sheep
“What man of you, having an hundred sheep,
if he lose one of them,
doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness,
and go after that which is lost,
until he find it?
And when he hath found it,
he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
And when he cometh home,
he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them,
‘Rejoice with me;
for I have found my sheep which was lost.’
I say unto you,
that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth,
more than over ninety and nine just persons,
which need no repentance.”
The Parable Of The Lost Coin
“Either what woman having ten pieces of silver,
if she lose one piece,
doth not light a candle,
and sweep the house,
and seek diligently till she find it?
And when she hath found it,
she calleth her friends
and her neighbours together, saying,
‘Rejoice with me;
for I have found the piece which I had lost.’
Likewise, I say unto you,
there is joy in the presence of the angels of God
over one sinner that repenteth.”
The Parable Of The Prodigal Son
“And He said, ‘A certain man had two sons:
And the younger of them said to his father,
Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me.
And he divided unto them his living.
And not many days after
the younger son gathered all together,
and took his journey into a far country,
and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
And when he had spent all,
there arose a mighty famine in that land;
and he began to be in want.
And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country;
and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat:
and no man gave unto him.
And when he came to himself, he said,
‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare,
and I perish with hunger!
I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father,
I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
And am no more worthy to be called thy son:
make me as one of thy hired servants.’
And he arose, and came to his father.
But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him,
and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
And the son said unto him,
‘Father, I have sinned against Heaven,
and in thy sight,
and am no more worthy to be called thy son.’
But the father said to his servants,
‘Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him;
and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
I’ve got a lot of things on my mind… I’m looking at my body through a new spy satellite… Try to lift a finger, but I don’t think I can make the call… So tell me if I move, ’cause I don’t feel anything at all…
“But if Christ is in you,
your body is dead because of sin,
yet your spirit is alive
because of righteousness.”
Romans 8:10
So Carry Me… I’m just a dead man… Lying on the carpet… Can’t find a heartbeat… Make me breathe… I want to be a new man! Tired of the old one… Out with the old plan…
“For as in Adam all die,
so in Christ all will be made alive.”
1 Corinthians 15:22
I woke up from a dream about an empty funeral… But it was better than the party full of people I don’t really know… They’ve got hearts to break and burn… Dirty hands to feel the earth… There’s something in my veins… But I can’t seem to make it work…
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
he is a new creation;
the old has gone,
the new has come!”
2 Corinthians 5:17
Can you find a beat inside of me? Any pulse? Getting worse? Inside of me, can you find a beat?
We celebrated all our Birthdays together for many years as children…
Running and playing with all our siblings, and our other cousins…
He loved trucks…
And his favorite sound was his “truck” sound…
“Gilly-Gilly-Gilly…Vroom!”
A happy, fun, and playful child,
Who grew up to be a Mighty Man of God…
Who loved his family, and cared for my Aunt…
Heaven welcomes you, my precious cousin…
Well done, good and faithful servant…
Rest now…
I know you’re seeing your Jesus face to face!
You’re Home!!
May our Lord bring His Peace to everyone in our family…
We will miss you!
Sometimes, all we have to hold onto… Is what we know is true of who You are… So when the heartache hits like a hurricane… That could never change who You are… And we trust in who You are!
Even if the healing doesn’t come… And life falls apart… And dreams are still undone…
You are God!
You are good!
Forever Faithful One !
Even if the healing… Even if the healing doesn’t come…
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.”
Revelation 21:4
Lord, we know Your ways are not our ways… So we set our faith in who You are… Even though You reign high above us… You tenderly love us… We know Your heart… And we rest in who You are…
You’re still the Great and Mighty One !
We trust You always… You’re working all things for our good … We’ll sing Your praise!
“Then Job got up and tore his clothes in grief.
He shaved his head
and threw himself face downward on the ground.
He said, ‘I was born with nothing,
and I will die with nothing.
The Lord gave,
and now He has taken away.
May His Name be praised!’
In spite of everything that had happened,
Job did not sin by blaming God.”
Job1:20-22
You are God and we will bless You! As the Good and Faithful One! You are God and we will bless You!
Even if the healing doesn’t come! Even if the healing doesn’t come!
Amen!
“Though He slay me, yet will I hope in Him; I will surely defend my ways to His face.”
Job 13:15
We pray for blessings… We pray for peace… Comfort for our family, protection while we sleep… We pray for healing, for prosperity… We pray for Your Mighty Hand to ease our suffering… All the while, You hear each spoken need… Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things…
‘Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops… What if Your healing comes through tears… What if a thousand sleepless nights… Are what it takes to know You’re near… What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise…
We pray for wisdom… Your voice to hear… And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near… We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love… As if every promise from Your Word is not enough… All the while, You hear each desperate plea… And long that we have faith to believe…
When friends betray us… When darkness seems to win… We know the pain reminds this heart… That this is not, this is not our home…
What if my greatest disappointments… Or the aching of this life… Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy… And what if trials of this life… The rain, the storms, the hardest nights… Are Your mercies in disguise…
“For this world is not our home;
we are looking forward to our City in Heaven,
which is yet to come.”
Hebrews 13:14
“But our citizenship is in Heaven.
And we eagerly await a Savior from there,
the Lord Jesus Christ,
who, by the power that enables Him to bring everything under His control,
will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like His Glorious body.”
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;
I have come that they may have life,
and have it to the full.”
John 10:10
“And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,
and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground;
neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field,
saith the Lord of Hosts.”
Malachi 3:11
“And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten,
the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm,
My great army which I sent among you.
And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied,
and praise the Name of the LORD your God,
that hath dealt wondrously with you:
and My people shall never be ashamed.”
Joel 2:25-26
Grow old together… Don’t quit… Love… Commit… No excuses… Don’t try to justify… Listen to the truth… Even when it feels like life’s falling apart… And it can’t go on anymore… But God is a God who knows how to heal… So just give it up to the Lord…
And He will restore!!
He said, “I promise…” She said, “I do, forever…” But right now if they’re being honest… They don’t know if they’ll stay together… Fast forward to the future… After struggling on their own… They finally figured out they needed…
Jesus in the middle!!
Now, I’m watching God rebuild their home…
The enemy tries to come and divide… Trying to get us to give up the fight… But darkness will always lose out to light… ‘Cause we’ve got the…
Power of Christ on our side!!
Grow old together… Others are praying…
They’ll find a love like yours…
And He will restore!
Like it was before…
You may have strayed off course…
But He will restore!!
“Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;
so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”
Psalm 103:4
“The LORD blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part…”
Job 42:12
Read: “God Will Restore Your Wasted Years” by David Wilkerson at:
“(Jonathan son of Saul had a son who was lame in both feet.
He was five years old when the news about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel.
His nurse picked him up and fled,
but as she hurried to leave,
he fell and became crippled.
His name was Mephibosheth.)”
2 Samuel 4:4
2 Samuel 9
David and Mephibosheth
“David asked, ‘Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?’
Now there was a servant of Saul’s household named Ziba. They called him to appear before David, and the king said to him, ‘Are you Ziba?’
‘Your servant,’ he replied.
The king asked, ‘Is there no one still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show God’s kindness?’
Ziba answered the king, ‘There is still a son of Jonathan; he is crippled in both feet.’
‘Where is he?’ the king asked.
Ziba answered, ‘He is at the house of Makir son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.’
So King David had him brought from Lo Debar, from the house of Makir son of Ammiel.
When Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he bowed down to pay him honor. David said, ‘Mephibosheth!’
‘Your servant,’ he replied.
‘Don’t be afraid,’ David said to him, ‘for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.’
Mephibosheth bowed down and said, ‘What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog like me?’
Then the king summoned Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said to him, ‘I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family. You and your sons and your servants are to farm the land for him and bring in the crops, so that your master’s grandson may be provided for. And Mephibosheth, grandson of your master, will always eat at my table.’
(Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.) Then Ziba said to the king, ‘Your servant will do whatever my lord the king commands his servant to do.’
So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table like one of the king’s sons. Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica, and all the members of Ziba’s household were servants of Mephibosheth.
And Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king’s table, and he was crippled in both feet.”
Wounded and forsaken… I was shattered by the fall… Broken and forgotten… Feeling lost and all alone…
Summoned by the King!
Into the Master’s courts! Lifted by the Savior! And cradled in His arms!
Carried to the table! Seated where I don’t belong! Swept away by His love!
I don’t see my brokenness anymore! When I’m seated at the table of the Lord!
Fighting thoughts of fear…
Wondering why He called my name…
Am I good enough to share this cup?
This world has left me lame…
Even in my weakness! The Savior called my name! In His Holy presence! I’m healed and unashamed!
You carried me, my God! You carried me!
I’ve been so busy, I missed the reasons…
I missed Your love, and I nearly missed it all…
Still You’ve loved me, and You’ve healed me…
You’ve given all and it brought me to Your Cross…
I stand only because You’ve given me grace to walk…
Only because…
You carried me!
You carried me through it all!
And I believe! Yes, I believe! You’ll carry me all the way home! ‘Cause mercy covers all!
I know the Scripture, I’ve known the songs…
I sang the words from my hollowed heart…
But You’ve spoken softly through the storm…
I’ve heard Your voice, and I’ve felt the calm…
I stand only because, You’ve given me faith to walk…
I know that you love me! I’ll never doubt it, I can’t live without it! Your mercy has found me! I am astounded, I can’t live without it!
