A Shot for the Heart

I don't know about you, but for the past few weeks this heart of mine has been dragging a bit.  When I think about the constant state of mess my home seems to be, the always sticky floors, the summer calendar already filling and these three little people that seem to have never ending needs, my heart begins to feel heavy, overwhelmed and just plain tired.  And those are just the things within the four walls of my home.

Last week I came across this song and it has been like a shot in the heart for me.  It took me a while to figure out what about it has been encouraging my heart so much and I realized that it's because the message of the song is simply the gospel.  It's the gospel that wakes up the heart and stirs it when the heart just wants to drag. It's the good news that there is hope for overwhelmed sinners like myself because the Lamb has overcome. Singing these gospel words to myself this week has been a gift of encouragement and I wanted to share it with you.  So enjoy...and be encouraged.
