Woke up with this song on my heart. I was struggling this week, but the Word says: God rejoices over me with singing.

It’s true! I feel like as we sleep, the Spirit of God songs lullaby’s and allows us to hear Him. This is beautiful and this song reassured me that though my situation is challenging, God isn’t going anywhere.

Thank you Father for never leaving or forsaking me. 🙌🏼❤️

Thank you. This truly helped me remember all the promises we find in scripture. To truly reside, remain, and dwell in him through everything. He will remain constant for all eternity. Amen.🌿

It’s amazing how this song was posted a day after my birthday back in the days when I was living a absolutely sinful lifestyle , it’s amazing how all I needed even back then was to only “Abide” in the Fathers Love , so I post this for all of my precious Brothers and Sisters in Christ , I want you to all know there’s is NOTHING that He can’t do and that He won’t do for you ! You and I are His beautiful reward we must not let the enemy take that from Him All we need to do is to just allow our Loving abba to lavish His eternal Love on us . THATS IT JESUS LOVES YOU

@LindaDreher
