God Finds You Even When You Think You Are Lost

God is your DEFENDER!!
 
The pic above was my eye when I was sick, had thoughts of depression and thought I had lost myself even being a pastor and many years in the church.  I love the song from Rita Springer called Defender. Check out these lyrics:
 
You go before I know
That You've gone to win my war
You come back with the head of my enemy
You come back and You call it my victory
 
You go before I know
That You've gone to win my war
Your love becomes my greatest defense
It leads me from the dry wilderness
 
All I did was praise
All I did was worship
All I did was bow down
All I did was stay still
 
Hallelujah, You have saved me
So much better Your way
Hallelujah, great Defender
So much better Your way
 
You know before I do
Where my heart can seek to find Your truth
Your mercy is the shade I'm living in
You restore my faith and hope again
 
When I thought I lost me
You knew where I left me
You reintroduced me to Your love
You picked up all my pieces
Put me back together
You are the defender of my heart
 
All I did was praise
All I need to do is worship
Lord I will just bow down
I'm just gonna stay still

I love how people submit to the Holy Spirit and he gives people songs from the heart to encourage people in their situations. My favorite line in this song is toward the end that says;

When I thought I lost me
You knew where I left me
You reintroduced me to Your love
You picked up all my pieces
Put me back together
You are the defender of my heart
 
I can remember being sick and so mad at God and what was happening and this song is such a great reminder that even though at times I thought I had lost myself but Jesus knew right where to find me. If you feel lost today, Jesus knows exactly where you are, what you need and how to get your life back on track.
 
The love of God is greater than anything we could imagine and more powerful than the stupid things that can happen in life.
 
Be blessed and have a wonderful week!
