Wednesdays Word......Remind Me

A lot of times I don't exactly have an idea of what I'm going to share on my blog until it just happens and today was no different. I felt no inspiration all day (plus I was working so it would have been impossible to blog anyways.....right) and then I pulled into our church parking lot for our Wednesday night family night and was just about to shut the van off when on the radio they introduced a song. I hadn't heard it before and generally I pride myself in knowing about a band or artist before everyone else so I'm not "the bandwagon jumper". So I sat and listened. By the end of the song I was singing along and it was then that I knew I had to introduce you all to Jason Gray. But first I got on my phone and punched up YouTube and found the video which made the song even more fitting and then when reading up on Jason and finding out he had a stuttering problem as a kid and grew up in an abusive home then throw in my love of a great acoustic guitar sound and that did it for me.

Everyone struggles at times with various things in this life; the biggest difference just depends if we make ourselves vulnerable enough to let others know; and not just what we're going through but what we've been through. We sometimes bury ourselves with meaningless junk and forget who we are or more importantly whose we are. While opening up and humbling ourselves like that may be one of the most difficult things to do generally it's not even to let anyone know we need help but just maybe to let them others know they're not alone in their darkness, pity, guilt, anger, shame...what ever it is. The greatest gift we can share with others is our own personal testimony. I'm talking the whole thing....not just the glorious moment we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior because being a Christian isn't all butterflies and prancing ponies. Jesus warned us we would have trouble in this world but also that he has overcome the world. We are who we are for a reason; for a purpose. So don't be ashamed just be honest and remember...it's who you are.

When I lose My way,

And I forget my name,

Remind me who I am.

In the mirror all I see,

Is who I don't wanna be,

Remind me who I am.

In the loneliest places,

When I can't remember what grace is.

Tell me once again who I am to you.

Who I am to you.

Tell me lest I forget who I am to you.

That I belong to you.

To you.

When my heart is like a stone,

And I'm running far from home,

Remind me who I am.

When I can't receive your love,

Afraid I'll never be enough,

Remind me who I am.

If I'm your beloved,

Can you help me believe it.

Tell me once again who I am to you.

Who I am to you, Woh.

Tell me lest I forget who I am to you.

That I belong to you.

To you.

I'm the one you love,

I'm the one you love,

That will be enough,

I'm the one you love.

Tell me once again who I am to you.

Who I am to you.

Tell me lest I forget who I am to you.

That I belong to you, Woh.

To you.
