Holding on...

So, it's good to hear encouraging messages, right? I've been blown away by others openness on the topic of God. Not everyone's taste - agreed - but everyone resorts to that uncontrollable sob in their life time and acknowledge Him for that moment. We find unexplainable peace at those times, I know it.
Let's be real - I love encouraging but easily get annoyed when being encouraged. Call me one of those "I know what's best" type who are blind-sighted from their own entitlement and worth.
We are strong - Yes. We can do many things - Correct. Yet even in the midst of our success and our courageous leaps, that neon sign is still glowing these words "You didn't do it on your own... Nuh-uh!" We live for more than ourselves. The people we meet - our posse and acquaintances - they have done something or not done something, for you to still be here. Meaning we too did something or not - even in the smallest of decision makings - for someone to still be going on. Hey, we are told frequently about "meant-to-be"'s, "this was no a coincidence"'s and "perfect timing"'s... I have learned and experienced personally how saying something like "I love you" saves a life - in fact, it was that such a phrase adds a day to someones life... Makes me not want to give up. On the contrary, hang onto what I know, for myself, helps me hold on and never let go.

Been listening to this track by Christian artist, Matt Redman (a true favorite of mine) for the last 72hrs and it's a simple message that's working for me.
Believer or non-believer - extract the big "G" out of it if needs be. The message is still the same. :)
