A word from long ago by Bill Britton

This morning as I woke, this parable came to me from many years back, written by Bill Britton. I believe it is for someone today, someone who is struggling against what they believe are the restraints of the Lord put upon them. Someone who doesn't believe that beauty can come from them or their life. Someone who the Lord loves desperately and who needs that peace that comes from complete surrender.This is deep and lengthy and is not for the fainthearted.

It is one of those things that must come with trust and not understanding as in Proverbs 3:5:

Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
    don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
    he’s the one who will keep you on track.

It's Friday and we are grateful and thinking about prayers that have been answered and those that it seems have not, or not in the way we'd hoped. The song for today is Keep Singing; please listen to the words as a prayer to the Lord:

"Keep Singing"

Another rainy day
I can't recall having sunshine on my face
All I feel is pain
All I wanna do is walk out of this place
But when I am stuck and I can't move
When I don't know what I should do
When I wonder if I'll ever make it through

I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising Your name
You're the one who's keeping my heart beating
I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising Your name
That's the only way that I'll find healing

Can I climb up in Your lap?
I don't wanna leave
Jesus, sing over me
I gotta keep singing

Can I climb up in Your lap?
I don't wanna leave
Jesus, sing over me
I gotta keep singing

Oh, You're everything I need
And I gotta keep singing
