I Believe

Original post: July 22, 2021. Edited.

(Based on the song You Say, by Lauren Daigle. Highlighted words belong to her.)

I listened to this song twice on my way to work this morning. It hit home. When nothing seems to go right, when you just don’t measure up, and when you feel empty and alone…this song is a reminder that God sees you differently than you see yourself.

I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I’m not enough
Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up
Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low?
Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know

He is a comfort in times of trial and heartache. He supports us when we do not have the strength to support ourself.

You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And you say I am held when I am falling short
And when I don’t belong, oh You say I am Yours

And I believe
Oh I believe
What You say of me
I believe.

The question is…do we believe? I mean really believe? I know I fall short. I doubt at times. A lot of times. I get angry sometimes too. I realize there is another power on this earth who wants me to question my belief in my God; who wants me to fail. One who wants me to selfishly live for myself and throw God to the wayside. So I need to be much stronger.

I believe…

This song gave me encouragement this morning. I hope you find encouragement through it as well. ♥️
