Able

Have you ever heard the song Able by Needtobreathe? If not, you are missing a huge blessing and so I am going to paste the lyrics and highlight my favorite parts. 

There's a host of hurts we come across

None of which alike

From the air inside the birthing room
To the darkness where we die
Though I feel I'm just as strong as any man I know
I'm not able on my own
Carry round the secrets
Only heaven knows
Crawl into our darkened rooms where only victims go
Though I feel I'm strong enough to carry all this load
I'm not able on my own

All my actions, false or true

Selfish motives I will use
We were born with knives in hand
Trained to kill our fellow man
If we're not better than the rest
How will children do their best
Find your patience, find your truth
Love is all we have to lose

I'm not able on my own

Amazing Album!

Do you sometimes feel you are not worthy? I know I do. I know myself way better than anyone else and it is a discouraging knowledge at times. However, God is able to use me despite my ridiculous past choices or the guilt I allow to burden me to the point of despair. Victimizing myself was something I struggled with in the past; unforgiveness in my own heart toward myself. It was difficult to continue in my relationship with the Lord, but praise the Lord, He didn't let me stay in that darkened room. He wouldn't allow me to remain a victim. He made me victorious through His love and sacrifice. The work of the Holy Spirit overtook my pity and brought me back to my first love.

I pray the Lord will continue to remind me that I'm not able on my own.
