Worn

I am absolutely loving Tenth Avenue North's song "Worn"
Sometimes that song is a perfect description of my state. It is such a good reminder to always know that redemption wins in us when we constantly fail and cannot measure up to expectation. Christ has already completed that saving work in us and no matter how bad our earthly circumstances get He can always mend our hearts and restore us. I know I get a sense of spiritual tiredness sometimes when I realize that I have been failing and when I am just heart wrenchingly worn out from the struggle; it is always such a relief to hear this song in those moments and to know that Christ can overcome anything.

I have exactly the life that I pictured I would and the life that I wanted and planned for. Along the way I had a lot of hardships, but ultimately God still gave me what I wanted. What is baffling for me is that the devil can give me so much doubt and discontentment even in situations that I know are right for my life. I realized that there won't be a moment in my life where I will be perfectly content and be absolutely happy about every aspect in my life- not without a fight at least. Reading this book has showed me how actively I have to fight every day to stay alert and listen to the voice of God and tell myself truth instead of listening to the lies that the devil tries ...
