Are You the One?
Are You The One On His Mind?
Was there ever a time in your life when you’d lost hope, stopped going to church on a regular basis, and your prayer life started to backslide?
If so, then know that you are not alone.
I know what that’s like because it happened to me.
This was many years ago, after I moved back home to help be a caregiver for my father.
He was diagnosed with Alzheimers and was showing all of the major signs.
It was nothing short of devastating.
I am so thankful for the friends that I have in my life. I leaned heavily on their support because, at that time, I felt that God wasn’t hearing my prayers.
Of course, God heard my prayers, but His ways are not mine and my human nature wanted “immediate” answers.
Through all of that heartache, the knowledge that God wouldn’t let me go meant (and means) everything.
My faith became stronger after that trial and other challenges throughout my life. You can read more here.
I ask, “Are you the one” because it breaks my heart to see others who have felt lost and alone, thinking that God doesn’t care.
If you’re struggling with something . . . please don’t lose your faith.
Continue to pour out your heart to the Almighty Father.
He is listening.
From personal experience, a good Christian friend to talk it over with is also a blessing.
We’re here for each other.
Jesus is our Good Shepherd.
If you go off course or even have doubts, Jesus is calling you back.
If you’re hurting, will you answer that call?
12“What do you think? If any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains, and go and search for the one that is lost? 13And if it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray. 14So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven for one of these little ones to perish. – Matthew 18:12-14, (NASB).1
Are You The One?
No matter what you’re going through, remember you are not alone.
You never were.
Through your hours, or days or even years of trial, God is with you and will continue to be.
I think the blessing of that assurance is a big reason why Matthew West’s new song, “Me On Your Mind,” has hit a chord with so many fans.
Listen to these moving lyrics, and you’ll see why this song has touched the heart of so many people.
“Me On Your Mind” released on February 18th and, per YouTube stats, has over 2400 views.
I love the heart and precious reminders behind this song which, by the way, Matthew says was inspired by Psalm 8.
In a world full of people, billions of people, so many people with so many problems, would you believe that your prayers don’t bounce off the ceiling, He loves to hear the sound of your voice. Just like the old hymn says, ‘ He walks with me and He talks with me.’ That’s the kind of relationship He wants to have with you. It’s you on His mind.” – Matthew West, multi-talented recording artist and musician.2
