Jesus didn’t promise us a life without troubles but He did promise us He would never leave us and His grace would be sufficient to carry us through every storm. HE is our HOPE, our JOY, our STRENGTH & our SONG
I remember the night I was just about to take an overdose of pills the song “Bridge over Troubled Waters” was playing and the words echoed throughout the room and it was like God was speaking to me to get my attention but I honestly believed it was too late and I had gone too far.
I was in a coma after consuming a bottle of sleeping pills and my body was shutting down until a few days later I awakened and I was given a second chance at life. Even years later I attempted suicide again close to jumping off a cliff but again He rescued me. He was and still is my bridge over troubled waters but one day He led me to His living waters and this rushing river deep within me overflows like fountains. How lovely and refreshing is He and these waters are available to anyone who will allow these waves of life to consume you.
Let us dive deep and let Him stir His river of Living waters within us!
Nothing or no one can stop these living waters deep within, how precious is this flow of love between you and Him. As we Praise Him His River of love is stirred within us Renewing, Reviving, and Refreshing our hearts. As strong winds try to bring us down embrace His songs of Praise and let our hearts sing.
May we hold up our Shield of Faith though it is battered and worn and not let anything hinder us from moving forward. Let us lift up our Sword high and stand on His every promise for they are written just for you and for me. Pray through every storm and Praise Him for this storm shall soon pass and the “Son” will shine within. Let His grace take you to the place He has ordained for you! Don’t give up for God is faithful to His word and will see you through this day and always!! Romans 8:38, John 7:37, Ephesians 6:10-18, I pray the Love and Peace of God rests your thoughts, protects and rules your heart, removing all fear conquering every storm in Jesus name Amen and Amen Love you all, Jan (Lollita Faith)
Lyrics to the song “Bridge Over Troubled Waters” by Simon & Garfunkel
As you read these words you’ll see how I felt God was speaking to me at the time but I wouldn’t listen. Now when I read the last verse I see how He has come through for me and my dreams have come true…if you find God is speaking to you through this song or another song take the time to listen and let Him prove His love to you He won’t let you down.
When you’re weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all,
I’m on your side, oh, when times get rough
And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you’re down and out
When you’re on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I’ll take your part, oh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
