Strong Enough to Walk On Stormy Seas

"When I am down and oh, my soul so weary; When troubles come and my heart burdened be. Then I am still and wait here in the silence; Until you come and sit awhile with me. You raise me up so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up to walk on stormy seas; I am strong when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up to more than I can be. There is no life, no life without it's hunger; Each restless heart beats so imperfectly; But then you come and I am filled with wonder; Sometimes I think I glimpse eternity. You raise me up so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up to walk on stormy seas; I am strong when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up to more than I can be."
Such beautiful Words of praise to our Father God from one who has walked through stormy seas depending on God as their strength. I love to see people's reactions when they realize their strength comes from God as they humble themselves before Him as a little child, safe and secure! Such an awesome picture of that childlike trust Jesus talks about in Matthew 18:2-4. When we become as that little child before God our Father, He quickly steps up to the plate and becomes All we need Him to be; and its that childlike dependence that keeps us humble before Him. It's in His strength that we are made over-comers, as He empowers us to walk through storms of life. It's so reassuring to know our Daddy God(Abba) is right there alongside us, holding our hand. That's when we begin to really know just Whose we are!
So why do we think we shouldn't have failures? Why are we so hard on ourself when we make a mistake or keep failing tests along the way? No one on earth is perfect! Everyone goes through trials, everyone has mess ups, and everyone makes mistakes. That's just us being human. When you realize that without tests, where would be our testimony? Without a mess, where would be our message? It's in our weakness that God is made strong; and it's in our tests and mess ups that we are made more and more aware of just who we are, and what abilities we have in Christ Jesus! As He raises us up, we become able to walk on those stormy seas. 
Becoming childlike teaches us to trust totally in His ability, not ours; and it is in Christ Jesus and Him alone, that we become Strong! That we become Victorious! That we become Sons and Daughters of the Most High God! No matter what your storm of life may be right now; just know that God desires to walk alongside you. He longs to raise you up to be more than you could ever dare to be; to make you strong enough to walk on stormy seas!
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day, dear friend. God loves you and so do I~~~
