There is nothing-no circumstance, no trouble, no-testing that can ever touch me until, first of all it has gone past God and past Christ right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with a GREAT PURPOSE, which I may not understand at the moment. As I refuse to become panicky, as I lift my eyes up to Him and accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no trial will ever disarm me, no circumstance will ever cause me to fret-for I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is- that is the rest of VICTORY!!!!

Breath of Heaven....



Breath of Heaven: Amy Grant

I have traveled many moonless nights,
Cold and weary with a babe inside,
And I wonder what I've done.
Holy father you have come,
And chosen me now to carry your son.

I am waiting in a silent prayer.
I am frightened by the load I bear.
In a world as cold as stone,
Must I walk this path alone?
Be with me now.
Be with me now.

Breath of heaven,
Hold me together,
Be forever near me,
Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven,
Lighten my darkness,
Pour over me your holiness,
For you are holy.
Breath of heaven.

Do you wonder as you watch my face,
If a wiser one should have had my place,
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan.
Help me be strong.
Help me be.
Help me.

Breath of heaven,
Hold me together,
Be forever near me,
Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven,
Lighten my darkness,
Pour over me your holiness,
For you are holy.

Breath of heaven,
Hold me together,
Be forever near me,
Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven,
Lighten my darkness,
Pour over me your holiness,
For you are holy.
Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven

As I hear the words to such a beautiful song this Christmas I can't help but wonder what Mary must have felt that dark night. A virgin chosen to carry the son of God within her very body and offer hope to all who believed in the name of Jesus. Such an ordinary woman picked by God to be used for an extraordinary purpose, I am sure there must have been many feelings of joy, confusion, inadequacy, fear, and why's that we can't possibly wrap our minds around the depth of her heart during those days. Regardless of how unsure she may have felt God chose her to carry out His plan in the birth of Jesus Christ which we all Celebrate on Christmas Day each year. I admire the woman and mother Mary must have been for even before she knew of all that her Son would endure for the sins of others she decided to head to the Lords calling for her life and submit to the Lords will. I am thankful for her sacrificial heart and the way she chose to share her precious child with us all. I am thankful for the birth of Jesus and that because God chose to use a woman so ordinary to bring forth the greatest blessing of all we can each be reminded everyday of the hope and purpose we have for our lives and power through Christ.
