Stronger

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work in us... - Ephesians 3:20

Back to blogging after an incredible Holy week and Easter weekend! God answered prayer and came through in ways that far surpassed what I had even imagined. His Presence has been undeniable and the work of His Hand so evident. I have felt the leading of His Spirit and am amazed at what He is up to! I am just so thrilled and so thankful that He is using me, and working in and through me to achieve His purposes. I will admit that, more often than not, I have been one who is prone to shrink back and give in to fear rather than step out in faith and boldness for my God. But without a doubt I'm finding the more I step out, even with little steps, the more I have been blessed to see and experience God's power! And at Easter, as I celebrate Jesus' victory over sin and death on the cross and anticipate the coming of His kingdom in its fullness, I marvel at the fact that His very power that conquered the grave lives in me. Jesus is alive, and He lives in me! With Him, I am victorious (1 Cor. 15:57). With Him, all things are impossible (Matt. 19:26; Phil. 4:13).

Thank You, Lord and most Holy God, for the unthinkable price You paid in laying down Your life, shedding Your precious blood, that I might be saved, restored and reconciled to You. Not because of anything I had done, but because of Your mercy and Your goodness (Titus 3:4). In light of my unworthiness and sinfulness I am floored and in awe of the love You have shown me in Christ Jesus. There is no other and nothing to compare. You are worthy of everything I am and have, and I will live to bring You glory and praise! And in times of darkness and distress...I fix my eyes on You, my enduring and everlasting hope, my coming King, and I remember that You are stronger. Jesus, be lifted higher!

There is love that came for us

Humbled to a sinner's cross

You broke my shame and sinfulness

You rose again victorious

Faithfulness none can deny

Through the storm and through the fire

There is truth that sets me free

Jesus Christ who lives in me

You are stronger, You are stronger

Sin is broken, You have saved me

It is written, Christ is risen

Jesus, You are Lord of all!

No beginning and no end

You're my hope and my defense

You came to seek and save the lost

You paid it all upon the cross

You are stronger, You are stronger

Sin is broken, You have saved me

It is written, Christ is risen

Jesus, You are Lord of all!

So let Your Name be lifted higher

Be lifted higher

Be lifted higher
