Today, I re-read and edited some long-ago posts. I cringe at people reading them with multiple errors of punctuation and misspelled words! I’ll have to manage my shame, as there’s not time sufficient enough to fix them all, even with Grammarly!
So, should you go back in time and find some messy writing, please forgive and ask The LORD what HE was thinking, letting this Girl at this screen! Seriously, I hope even with all the mistakes, you will find a true message that GOD is and He has made a way for you to Know Him.
I heard a new-to-me song tonight, which made me think, and it settled in.
I Made It. That’s the name of the song. A group called Promised sang it tonight, and I found it on YouTube by Cain, probably the ones who sang it first.
But let me get to my reason for writing tonight, for you to read this morning. Here’s a link to the lyrics; I really hope you will read them. HERE
In my Christian circle, I have noticed we speak of our failures more easily than our victories, as if to speak of our victories is somehow the opposite of humble. This song gave me a perspective that I am appreciating! Look:
I’m comin’ out the other side stronger One foot in front of the other Hands still raisin’, heart still praisin’ I made it, I made it, I made it, I made it
Through the storms, the hell and high water I never left the hands of my Father Lungs still breathin’, thank You, Jesus I made it, I made it, I made it, I made it
Pardon me if I am wrong. But to be able to look back at a hard siege, and with humble pride be able to say I didn’t betray You, I didn’t lose faith, I didn’t fail to trust You, You kept me from falling, from stumbling! I made it! Somehow, I think we have missed that being able to say I made it is honorable. It is a glory to our Great GOD; it demonstrates what HE can do in us!
This kind of saying, ” I made it, ” is not patting ourselves on the back; rather, it is our arms outstretched, our face toward heaven, tears washing our soul, and shouting a hallelujah of praise to our King that HE has made us faithful!
Oh, yes! We need more of these I Made It(s) in the Body of CHRIST!
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. There are over 3,500 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
