When God gives me times to share bigger pieces, I might sound radical – because JESUS just is! Yet, really radical is what I read on the pages of scripture and of the men and women of faith. Stepping out into foreign lands and trusting in God. He directing their every step. Lives being affected for the Kingdom!
The radical story is THE King of heaven, humbling himself and coming to save and make a way for sinners to have LIFE. He raising from death to life. Radical.
Captivated by His love many years ago, yet HIS radical love keeps on pursuing His children. 14 years ago when I carried Isaac in the womb, and soon after Maximus, God put a vision in our hearts for revival in this land. The land that resided right in the hearts of this family. He would take our family on a journey we would have never imagined. Stepping away from all the world said was good, and stepped into deeper communing with Him. Transforming all of us.
Painful and yet JOY because the JOY of the Lord is our strength. On the other side of pain came NEW life in a zillion ways, over time, to our entire family. This journey, this story of HOPE against despair, Unfailing LOVE of the Father, Grace greater than all our sin and weakness, Mercy, Victory over the enemy! FREEDOM! And I tell the story to point to Who all glory, honor, belongs to – the ONE we celebrate LIFE in everyday – JESUS, JESUS, JESUS! heart emoticon He is definitely sooooo not finished with us yet.. He who has begun a good work will be faithful to complete it.
If I told you my story
You would hear hope that wouldn’t let go
If I told you my story
You would hear love that never gave up
If I told you my story
You would hear life but it wasn’t mine
If I should speak then let it be
Of the grace that is greater than all my sin
Of when justice was served and where mercy wins
Of the kindness of Jesus that draws me in
To tell you my story is to tell of Him
If I told you my story
You would hear victory over the enemy
If told you my story
You would hear freedom that was won for me
If I told you my story
You would hear life overcome the grave
