(Hello in Armenian!)
Today, dear friends. I will be blogging about
this one thing. This one thing that has been on my mind a lot lately.
I have lyrics to this song called, Soldier by Brandon Heath. They go like this:
Just like a soldier you battle for my soul
More like a Father you come and take me home
More like a Father you come and take me home
(only part of the song!)
When you look at and read these lyrics, what do you think of? Lately, I have been thinking a lot about God's love for me. How can my God love me soo much, when I am so completely undeserving? I sin, lie, hurt, and let down people everyday. Yet, God has never left my side. Never let me down. Never gave up on me. He was the father when I felt I had none, the friend, when all mine turned away, my shield when I couldn't protect myself. This song, really for some reason made all of that stuff, ^^^ smack me in the face.
"Just like a soldier, you battle for my soul". I have had to fight many battles, big and small. But every battle, every fight, every war, God was at my side. Wether nor not I knew it, I know it now. And now that I know it, and I am positive about it, I no longer have to worry. I no longer have to fear, and be afraid. My God will fight for me, no matter what.
"More like a father you come and take me home". You know, in my past. Back in the dark times, I would wonder away. Find paths, and roads that I never wanted to go down, but I did. I was lost, and I had strayed away from home. All these roads happened to be dark, scary, cold, and I never wanted to be there. I was never happy. I could never find my way home. Then, God, well he came into the picture. Everytime I wandered away, everytime I got lost, he would be there to lead me home. To show me a way, give me a lamp, a light. It was no longer darker.
As you all finish reading this, if anyone did, I want you to take this away from it. There will always be scary times. There will alawys be times when you get lost or confused. But always remember that through every one of those times, God will be there. He will be there with the light, and with the shields. Every fight, every battle. On every road and every alley. Never forget that. (:
Tchao!
