Testify to love

Testify to love

This blog is only a few days old, but ever since having the intention of creating a blog some months back, I had wanted it to be one that shares testimonies, reflections, poems, songs, etc - anything that edifies the reader and brings glory to the Name of God! I hope that this blog can be different - not one that pours out complains and stop short at that, but one that even as I "complain", I'll take time to reflect what I can and have learn, and then share these lessons with you all. It is also a blog to make me take a step back from the busyness of life to reflect, perhaps also to regain a bit of "sanity" amidst life's currents - after all, I believe that if we take time to stop and pause, smell the flowers, listen to the birds chirping away - we can actually hear God speaks!

Many people say that they don't feel God ... they don't hear God ... they don't "see" God, but I find reminder and inspiration from this lively song ... God does speak, if you will only be still and allow Him to do so ... and as He speaks, will you be willing to share your testimonies with others, that we may testify for Him? The world is bombarded by enough loud voices that are not edifying, let us be that voice which God can use and "testify to love" ...

Testify to love by Avalon

Verse 1

All the colors of the rainbow

All the voices of the wind

Every dream that reaches out

That reaches out to find where love begins

Every word of every story

Every star in every sky

Every corner of creation lives to testify

Chorus:

For as long as I shall live

I will testify to love

I'll be a witness in the silences

When words are not enough

With every breath I take

I will give thanks to God above

For as long as I shall live

I will testify to love

Verse 2

From the mountains to the valleys

From the rivers to the sea

Every hand that reaches out

Every hand that reaches out to offer peace

Every simple act of mercy

Every step to kingdom come

All the hope in every heart

Will speak what love has done

Thanks to those of you who have given me comments and encouragement ever since this blog started. I hope as you read each day's entries, you will find encouragement from what has been written.

So ... my dear HDC, what about my proposal to you to share the poems God has inspired you to write concerning Easter and Christmas Day? Do you want to give me the rights to put it here, or should it be up on our CCA notice board? =)

2 Timothy 1:8 reminds us, "So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord" - may you and I be found faithful always to speak and testify for Him!
