“My Soldier” by AJ Rafael (live)
 
(music video) 

 

When you’re feeling sad and blue, don’t you know that I will always, 
Be here for you.
When everything just makes us go out of our minds, just know that I will always, 
Have the time for you.
You say that I am your influence.
You should know that you inspire me.
Now until the end.
I’ll help you get through the thick and thin and I know you’ll remember when.
I say.

You are strong, strong as a soldier.
Even when winds are tough you’ll always keep it together.
You are strong, strong as a soldier.
I know you’ll get through anything. ‘Cause you’re strong, strong, strong as a soldier.

When the waves are crashing down.
Can’t get up. Just know I’ll, 
Pick you up from the ground.
When it feels like everything goes wrong, just remember to listen to this song.

Don’t you worry about the obsticles to your happiness.
If you let them get to you, you’ll endure just like the rest.
I know your’e better than those people who get in the way.
Just remember what I always say.

This video is too beautiful; I almost can’t stand it.  I keep replaying it over and over, never wanting to get rid of that rich cello sound mixed in with the lovely piano’s melody.  To me, the cello and the piano make a great love story together.  Separately, they are both wonderful instruments that would sound great as soloists, but together they fill each other’s spaces and voids to create something that is so enrichingly beautiful that it is almost impossible to describe.  They work well together, they synch perfectly with each other… Isn’t it lovely?  

I’d love to mesh like that with someone someday…
A love story like that between this duet of piano and cello together…

“You face your greatest opposition when you’re closest to your biggest miracle.” -T.D. Jakes
 

It is when we start to live our life not for our own sake but for Christ’s- we begin to realize we are able to do things we thought we were not capable of. There is a new generation rising up to magnify the cause of Christ all around the globe. A generation that is willing to stand face to face with the enemy to let the enemy know who is in charge, because we are grounded in the Word. Faith becomes the foundation we are built on. It is when we choose to fully consecrate ourselves and to seek God’s desires for us- that is an act of worship.  Something happens when you sacrifice. It is so easy to worship God on Sundays, don’t you think, but most difficult to worship God when we are battling with our own desires and choices. Let us be a generation that is willing to crucify our own self so that we may be able to experience the next realm of glory and the life He has in store for both you and me! It is so easy to be distracted in the world we are living today, but I pray that you will be focused in running the race so that you will win!
 

Acts 20:24
²⁴But none of these things move me; neither do I esteem my life dear to myself, if only I may finish my course with joy and the ministry which I have obtained from [which was entrusted to me by] the Lord Jesus, faithfully to attest to the good news (Gospel) of God’s grace (His unmerited favor, spiritual blessing, and mercy).

Psalm 119:10
10With my whole heart have I sought You, inquiring for and of You and yearning for You; Oh, let me not wander or step aside [either in ignorance or willfully] from Your commandments.

I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power. My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
 

I’m losing my whole life 
In your purpose and for your heart’s desire
I’m running with blinded eyes
Faith as my guide, let your love take flight
For You, all is put aside..
