God of All My Days
By Casting Crowns You’re the Reason I Sing! Thank you for bearing with me yesterday. I don’t remember ever inviting you into my personal time with the Lord. It was a little awkward for me but I hope a blessing to you—an inspiration that propels you toward Him in an even greater way. He has put A New Song in the heart of everyone who is His, it comes with the deal! If being Born Again came in a package the ‘New Song’ would be listed as one of the ingredients. As many of you know, the Lord gave me my guitar when I was very ill a couple of months ago. I’ve never played any musical instrument and if I had a ‘bucket list’ worshipping with a guitar would have been near the top of the list. It’s a dream that’s been in my heart for many decades, one that I had given up on years ago. But the Lord remembered. I can’t use my fingers well enough to hold a pic or chord but I’m able to love Jesus with it as I worship, I’m so thankful. It’s always a ‘heart’ thing. Even though my voice cracks with the effects of aging and the meds I’m on—He hears my heart and smiles, Hallelujah! That’s what He listens for, our hearts. It’s not about having a wonderful voice or being a skilled musician—not in our personal time with the Lord. I’ll never be either, it’s about our hearts. I can’t control my fingers but I can still control who I give my heart to and I give it to Jesus, our Messiah! I can still control who I give my voice to, I give it to you Jesus to carry Words of Life wherever We go. I’ve been asking the Lord for 25 more years of effective ministry and would appreciate you prayers. I have no plans of ever retiring, how could I ever retire from my calling? I’ve always believed that our later years would be the most productive years of our lives. That’s one of the reasons I’ve endeavored to honor older saints. And now I find that I’m becoming one of those older ones! Although I’d love the vigor I had as a young disciple I prefer living as the man Jesus has made me into. Every week we have new folks coming to our gatherings simply because they want Jesus. They see how you love and live and are inspired to want more of God in their lives. And they find Him, they find Jesus, Hallelujah! So many of you are learning how to love… 🎶 🔥 🎶 🔥 🎶 🔥 🎶 You’re the reason that I sing ‘Cause You’re the God of all my days Jesus is Risen ❤️ Love Him ❤️ John love-never-fails.net “And even when I am old and gray...I will declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.” Psalm 71:18 Comments are closed.
