I've Witnessed It

"When I was lost and all alone

Your presence was where I found home

You were there and You're here right now

In every high and every low

You never left me without hope

You were good and You're good right now

I've witnessed Your faithfulness

I've seen You breathe life within

So I'll pour out my praise again

You're worthy, God, You're worthy of all of it

Your promises never fail

I've got stories I'll live to tell

So I'll pour out my praise again

You're worthy, God, You're worthy of all of it

You left the throne and chose the cross

Laid down Your life to rescue us

The savior then, the savior now

But even death was not the end

You conquered hell so I could live

Resurrecting then, resurrecting now

You're good and I've witnessed it

You're strong and I've witnessed it

You're constant, I've witnessed it

And I'm confident I'll see it again and again

You love and I've witnessed it

You heal and I've witnessed it

You save and I've witnessed it

And I'm confident I'll see it again and again

To the broken I'll witness it

To the hurting I'll witness it

To the lost I will witness it

And I'll tell them this, I'll tell them what I've witnessed

To my family I'll witness it

To my city I'll witness it

To the nation I'll witness it

I'll tell them this, I'll tell them what I've witnessed."

I've witnessed it (Passion & Melodie Malone)

This song has been on repeat today.

It's been quite a while since I've posted anything and while I've enjoyed the break, I feel I am missing out on the opportunity to keep witnessing. I was advised not to post for a while due to a big project that's coming up that I'd love to share more about, however, due to what we're trying to do as it concerns abortion I want to keep quiet for now.

As I was listening to this song I kept thinking about how far God has brought me, how many opportunities He's brought up, and how He's continuing to provide, even if I'm not aware of it. I love what the last two verses say,

"To the broken I'll witness it

To the hurting I'll witness it

To the lost I will witness it

And I'll tell them this, I'll tell them what I've witnessed

To my family I'll witness it

To my city I'll witness it

To the nation I'll witness it

I'll tell them this, I'll tell them what I've witnessed."

I want to tell people what I've witnessed!

I want to tell people what God has done in my life!

I want to witness to people of how powerful my God is!

I want to witness to the broken, lost, and hurting. I want to witness to my family, to my city, to my nation. I want to tell them this, "I've witnessed what power, grace, love, compassion, freedom, and forgiveness the sovereign God offers each of us."

This journey hasn't been easy and will probably continue to bring challenges and fears and yet, I want to be fearless in my witness.

There are so many people out there, Christian or non-Christian who are lost, broken, or hurting and man do I want to bring them even just a small flicker of hope and light that Christ offers.

There are people out there who are lost in what they've done and can see no way out.

I've been there and I want to tell them this: "There is a way out. There is a way to overcome this darkness. There is a way to be free of what's chained you down because I've witnessed it."

I've seen what God can do because He did it for me and if He can do it for me, a woman who murdered her child through abortion, He can do it for you!

How, then can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? Romans 10:14

How will anyone know what the Lord has done in your life if you have not witnessed it to others?

I don't think God asked us to witness to others so that they can judge or condemn but rather so that they can see the change He's done in your life.

So that they can step that much closer to a Holy God and understand His great love for us.

Who better to show His love for us than those who were broken and disfigured by their sins?

Who better to witness than those who know firsthand just how quickly God will leave the 99 to find the 1?

My friends, you are no longer held down by what you've done or what's been done to you!

We've witnessed His faithfulness

We've seen Him breathe life within

And so, we'll pour out our praise

Because He's worthy, worthy of everything!

How can you witness to what God has done in your life??
