Song Stories
Every once in a while we lose our way. Even as Christians we lose sight of Jesus. I think some people tend to think that since we are Christians, we have it all figured out and we can do no wrong. Truth is, we get it wrong more times than we can count. We face hardships just like everyone else and sometimes we fall. I recall a time, back in 2006 when I fell. Hard. See, I was in church but I forgot to do something that many Christians forget to do and that was to take Jesus with me when I left. I had sinned many many times.. including the period of time when I moved in with William before we were married. We started going out almost every weekend with some friends to places we shouldn ' t be hanging out. It was just not a life we should be living and I started to feel like I was leading a double life. Skipping ahead to the end of 2007, William and I got married and we had stopped going out but we still didn ' t get back in church like we should have. We were letting God in some areas of our life, but keeping him out of others, still living a double life. We of course now walk with Jesus daily and we try very hard not to sin but know that even though you have the best of intentions, we, as humans, are built to sin. This is why we need Jesus so badly because He has taken that sin and He has buried it so that we don ' t have to carry it around anymore. Sometimes I worry so much that I will fall into Satan ' s trap again so I scream out to Jesus the lyrics of a song called Busted Heart( Hold onto Me) by For King and Country. " Winter has come back again, Feels like the season won ' t end, My faith is tired tonight, And I won ' t try to pretend, I ' ve got it all figured out, That I don ' t have any doubts, I ' ve got a busted heart, I need You now. Hold on to me, Hold on to me, Don’ t let me lose my way, Hold on to me " This song sends chills down my spine. When I hear the words " Hold on to me " I just reach for Jesus ' hand and I know that he is holding on to me and that He ' ll never let me go. Yes, like the song says, my faith sometimes gets tired, and I do sometimes try to pretend that I ' ve got it all figured out, and that I have no doubts but, see my heart is busted and I need Jesus to put me back to together sometimes. And He does. He can for you too if you will just let Him. The thing that I have learned is to just not look back. God has already wiped the slate clean and we need not to dwell on the past any longer. Until next time...
God Bless, Jen
