(Don't forget to come back!! :)


For the #12 edition of "Quench Your Thirst Thursday" is "The Wind" By: CeCe Winans. This is one of my favorite songs to sing. One of the reason is because I relate to it in more ways than one. Not to mentiion, it really speaks to my spirit. Have you ever had a stronghold that seemed too hard to get rid of? No matter how many times you tell yourself and God, "That's it!! I give it all to you, God. I am tired of doing this or walking this path of life that is not pleasing to you."

You say all of that and it is not even a whole week, yet, and you find yourself back into the same pattern or doing the very thing you said you wouldn't do anymore. Not only that, you told God you cast your stronghold or situation only just to pick it up the next day. Knowing that you did something not so pleasing in God's eyes, how do you began to feel? Not to good...right. You may even felt like you disappointed God.

You might have even felt like you know what...."I give up!" or "I can't do this anymore." "Furthermore, how can God trust me when I don't even trust myself." I know because I've been there. That's what this verse from Cece's song means:

With all of my heart I know I disappointed you
And altough I'm real sorry I don't know how to say this time
But if I were to lose you I know, I know I'd go completely
Out of my mind, but I'm running out of time

But I'm so afraid you've forgiven one too many times
And I'm so afraid to give my heart again
Just to have a change of mind
And I'm not quite sure that you can trust me
And I would hate to have you find me again
Driftin' away like the wind


But I am here to tell you that God is a forgiving God. No matter how many times you seem to drift away like the wind, God is there to blow you back in the right direction. And just like the end of the song says:

At night you can hear it cry as the teardrops fall
From Heaven's eyes and somehow you know it's true
These tears that fall could be fallin' for you

You never know when it rains, that the tears coming from heaven could be tears falling for you. It could be Jesus crying out for your soul and interceding on your behalf. If Jesus is willing to fight and cry out for your life, how come you can't fight just as hard to maintain your relationship with God. It doesn't matter how many times you drift away, because God does not keep track of all your sins. However, it does matter that you acknowledge your wrong-doings, repent, and get back on track. Most importantly, you fight with all might to stay on the right path without wavering so easily.

My prayer for you is that you don't keep track of your sins, your disappointments... And never think that God sees you as this terrible person. Also, not to worry about how many times God had to forgive you. I, also, pray that when you feel yourself drifting away like the wind, that you come to yourself before it's too late and let God blow you back in the right direction.

Blessings to you always and forever!!

Don't forget to pause my playlist at the bottom, before you listen to this song.

The Wind (Tears For You) - CeCe Winans




With all of my heart I know I could love you
But with all of my soul I'm driftin' away
And with all of my mind I know you can save me from
myself, and anything else

With all of my strength I wanna reach out for you
With every breath, call out your name
With every step I just want to turn around and say
Make it okay

But I'm so afraid you've forgiven one too many times
And I'm so afraid to give my heart again
Just to have a change of mind
And I'm not quite sure that you can trust me
And I would hate to have you find me again
Driftin' away like the wind

With all of my heart I know I disappointed you
And altough I'm real sorry I don't know how to say this time
But if I were to lose you I know, I know I'd go completely
Out of my mind, but I'm running out of time

But I'm so afraid you've forgiven one too many times
And I'm so afraid to give my heart again
Just to have a change of mind
And I'm not quite sure that you can trust me
And I would hate to have you find me again
Driftin' away like the wind

It blows and nobody know where it's goin' to
(Like the wind)
It blows and nobody know what it's gonna do
(Like the wind)
At night you can hear it cry as the teardrops fall
From Heaven's eyes and somehow you know it's true
These tears that fall could be fallin' for you
