Proclaiming Confidence.

These past weeks have been a little overwhelming for me. I've started a new chapter in my life and not only am I in an entire new situation but I've felt as though I've started off on the wrong foot.

During this time though, I've learned how to cry out to Jesus. To make known to Him my hurts, my pains, my struggles. I realize that He UNDERSTANDS my struggles, He is able to DISCERN my feelings and He can RECOGNIZE what needs to change.

It makes it a lot easier on me. It's load off of when I know that someone else understands exactly what I'm going through. And not only does He understand what I am going through but He KNOWS the solution. He knows how to get my hopes up once again and He knows EXACTLY how to bring my eyes onto Him again. I have been VERY grateful that when those thoughts creep in that I'm not good enough He PROCLAIMS that I am. He DECLARES to me that His blood was enough.

It's time that I walk in that once again. Stop walking with my head down, saying the world has beaten me. I am a loser, but not in that way. I have lost my life in order to gain it. I am a winner, I don't need anything of this world and pain in this world can no longer hold me down. I will SHOW you that Christ's blood is enough. I will walk in CONFIDENCE that I truly do BELIEVE these things not only in my head but in my heart.

Today is the day! Today is the day I remember to hold my head high because my Father has conquered the grave and beaten death.

"For the LORD is your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught."
Proverbs 6:26

That`s what faith can do.

Jesus NEVER changes.

His love remains throughout the ages.

Though I have such pain,

I am confident it won`t remain

I declare Jesus blood is enough

Even when though the times get rough.

No matter what happens in my life

His word touches me as a knife.

I will remain faithful to you

In absolutely everything I do

Through all this pretending

I trust you no matter what the ending

As I shift my focus back to you

I am confident you`ll carry me through.

As I look around at this mess

I’m reminded of your faithfulness.

I cast onto you all my sorrow

And will do so again tomorrow.

In awe of you I stand still

Knowing I`m in the center of your will. ‘

I look around and notice the sun

Once again into your arms I run

I lost sight of how much you loved me

And how your blood has set me free.

Your love is completely abundant

And everything else becomes redundant.

Jesus you are worthy to be praised

And the reason today my head is raised.
