POWER

I want to help.
I want to be someone who gives hope to people who have none.
I want to be a shoulder to cry on.
I want to be a light for Jesus.
I want to be an encouragement.
I just want to be a friend that is trustworthy and loving.

All of these things that I want are fine. But my constant is my Jesus. He is my strength. I was listening to this song the other day. It's called Please Be My Strength by Gungor.

I’ve tried to stand my ground
I’ve tried to understand
but I can’t seem to find my faith again

like water on the sand
or grasping at the wind
I keep on falling short

please be my strength
please be my strength
Cause I don’t have anymore
I don’t have anymore

I’m looking for a place
that I can plant my faith
one thing I know for sure

I cannot create it
I cannot sustain it
It’s Your love that’s keeping (captured) me

Please be my strength…

at my final breath
I hope that I can say
I’ve fought the good fight of faith

I pray your glory shines
through this doubting heart of mine
so my world would know that You

You are my strength
You and You alone
You and You alone
Keep bringing me back home


I don't have strength on my own. And neither do you. This song for me is a cry to God. But he gives us the strength we need. He gave us a spirit of POWER. He gives us courage.


For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power, love and self-control.
2 Timothy 1:7


Now the question is...

how we will use that Spirit of power to impact the world?
