Daddy was a preacher
She was his wife
Just trying to make the world a little better
You know, shine a light
People started talking
Trying to hear their own voice
Those people tried to accuse my father
Said he made the wrong choice
Though it might be painful
You know that time will always tell
Those people have long since gone
My father never failed
Even when the rain falls
Even when the flood starts rising
Even when the storm comes
I am washed by the water
Even if the Earth crumbles under my feet
Even if the ones I love turn around and crucify me
I won’t never ever let you down
I won’t fall
I won’t fall
I won’t fall as long as you’re around me

Have you ever felt prompted to do something, felt it was right, only to be talked out of it by friends and family, or your own insecurity? I know I have. But you know, if it is of God, there will be opportunities to pursue those outreaches. It may not have the same blessing as before, but you can still receive a blessing from your service opportunity. It is almost like the son that said he would help in the garden, then doesn’t. Then the other son says no, but then does. I so understand.
Age does not mean that we obey any better than when we were younger. Sometimes we just get more stubborn and figure who wants to hear from this old person. Let me tell you, we are not old. We have alot of life to live and experiences to share. We may need to practice our delivery, may need to soften our demeanor, but we also do not ever need to give up hope. There are people I am sure you have been ministering to and praying for. Never give up on them. Jesus has not given up on us!
Tina, thank you for the reminder that life might not always go as planned, but God can always use us so we should never give up hope.
