I was heading out this morning and just minutes after turning the radio on, I heard this song. From the first word Mr. Gokey had my attention. Not very many years ago “shattered” was exactly what I was. And yes, the life I knew was in a thousand pieces on the floor. I was driven to my knees, and the road back was a long, hard one. But yes, every scar reminds me of the One who carried me through; the One who continues to work everything in my life for good….
Perhaps you’re in a similar place today. Perhaps your life is shattered, along with your heart, your dreams, and your hope. Let me encourage you to “Step into the light of grace…and say goodbye to where you’ve been, and tell your heart to beat again.”
Just like me, God is not finished with you yet! He will still work out much good in your life, because “love sees farther than you ever could.”
Let Him do it.
He’s got you.
He’s got this!
Make every day count!
Mary

“Tell Your Heart To Beat Again”
By Danny Gokey
Like you’ve never been before
The life you knew
In a thousand pieces on the floor
And words fall short in times like these
When this world drives you to your knees
You think you’re never gonna get back
To the you that used to beTell your heart to beat again
Close your eyes and breathe it in
Let the shadows fall away
Step into the light of grace
Yesterday’s a closing door
You don’t live there anymore
Say goodbye to where you’ve been
And tell your heart to beat againBeginning
Just let that word wash over you
It’s alright now
Love’s healing hands have pulled you through
So get back up, take step one
Leave the darkness, feel the sun
Cause your story’s far from over
And your journey’s just begunTell your heart to beat again
Close your eyes and breathe it in
Let the shadows fall away
Step into the light of grace
Yesterday’s a closing door
You don’t live there anymore
Say goodbye to where you’ve been
And tell your heart to beat againLet every heartbreak
And every scar
Be a picture that reminds you
Who has carried you this far
‘Cause love sees farther than you ever could
In this moment heaven’s working
Everything for your goodTell your heart to beat again
Close your eyes and breathe it in
Let the shadows fall away
Step into the light of grace
Yesterday’s a closing door
You don’t live there anymore
Say goodbye to where you’ve been
And tell your heart to beat again
Your heart to beat again
Beat again
Oh, so tell your heart to beat again
