I Am More....

Driving today I heard a song that filled my heart with joy. The song is "You Are More" by Tenth Avenue North and one part of the song really opened my eyes: "'Cause this is not about what you've done, But what's been done for you. This is not about where you've been, But where your brokenness brings you to....You are more than the choices that you've made, You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, You are more than the problems you create, You've been remade."  How beautiful to hear these words!!  I am more than anything in this life..I am more because I am remade in my God's eyes.  I am not just a mom, a daughter or a friend.  I am not just a sick woman with Multiple Sclerosis.  I AM God's child. You are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26 I am more than the disease that fills my earthly body because my life belongs to God, my disease does not define me...my life in Christ defines me! Psalm 119:114 You are my refuge and my shield; your word is my source of hope.  My body may be filled with a disease, but the Lord is my refuge, his word my source of hope, this disease is earthly, but my hope is bigger and more powerful than any disease I can face here on earth. Every morning I can and will wake up knowing the Lord is my strength!“…the joy of the LORD is your strength.” Neh. 8:10 It is God's love that gets me through, it is my hope in the Lord that brings me healing and he is my God, because of him.... I am MORE!

Oh Lord in Heaven, your beautiful name fills my heart with joy.  Because of you I know I am more than a disease, I am your child.  I am your child Lord and I know you walk with me daily.  Lord I come to  you for refuge and feel your presence.  I praise your name Lord, I thank you Lord, because without you...I am nothing.  Amen
