"Tell your heart to beat again
Close your eyes and breathe it in
Let the shadows fall away
Step into the light of grace
Yesterday's a closing door
You don't live there anymore
Say goodbye to where you've been
And tell your heart to beat again"
~ Danny Gokey
Sometimes life leaves you broken. It takes you places you never imagined you'd go. It leaves you hurt and damaged and in desperate need of healing. You still have faith that healing will come, but t just seems so far away. In those dark moments, in those sad times, it feels as if your heart stops working, stops beating. But along comes a gentle reminder that you're not alone, you're still alive and your heart is still beating. You never have to succumb to your past. You never have to settle for the way things used to be. For there's a Christ who makes all things new. He came that we might have life and life more abundantly. He came to revive us and show us the way, the truth and the life. He came that we, the world, through Him, might be saved. He came to breathe life into our dead places. He came to make our dry bones live. He came to make our once still hearts beat again.

Lord please create in me a clean heart and renew in me a right spirit. Let not the world harden my heart to the possibility to what you would do for, in, through, and around me.
