Meaningful "Words"

Hi...Happy Wednesday...I hope all is well in your world. 

I slept 20+ hours yesterday...I guess I had some kind of 24 hour stomach bug...needless to say, it knocked on my hind end!!  Strangely, I am feeling tired today!  I guess too much sleep!!!

I have been thinking about "words"...I heard a song today called "Words"  Here are the lyrics...

They've made me feel like a prisoner
They've made me feel set free
They've made me feel like a criminal
Made me feel like a king

They've lifted my heart
To places I'd never been
And they've dragged me down
Back to where I began

Words can build you up
Words can break you down
Start a fire in your heart or
Put it out

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You

You can heal the heartache
Speak over the fear
(Speak over the fear)
God, Your voice is the only thing
We need to hear
(We need to hear)
Words can build us up
Words can break us down
Start a fire in our hearts or
Put it out

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
(Back to You)

Let the words I say
(Let the words I say)
Be the sound of Your grace
(Sound like Your grace)
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You

I wanna speak Your love
Not just another noise
Oh, I wanna be Your light
I wanna be Your voice

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don't wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You






 

As I fight this battle against all of the things that keep me overweight...that keep me unhealthy...I want my "words" to have meaning.  I want my "words" to reflect God's Grace and I want my "words"  to express how much this Journey depends on the Strength, Faith and Love of God and of all those who are helping see me through this battle. 

It feels like a battle today.  But I know that it is a battle I can win...I hope you read my words and know that I am fighting this battle with all of my heart...I hope you see God's truth in my words...

Today I feel like David against Goliath...but I am ready to continue the fight...only because of God's words...

I decided to post several passages of scripture that see me through rough days...mostly for me today!! 

Thank you for  your continued support.  Your "words" have been reminders of God's Love!
