My heart was awakened by His love.

A SONG OF JOY.

 

I want to sing a song that’s new.

A song whose sound is vibrant and so pure.

This song my heart has never sang before,

For it is You who breathes new life into my soul.

 

I long to sing a song that’s mine.

A song whose words describe my need for you,

And in its words I hope to paint my heart;

With colors that bring joy into your eyes.

 

I need to sing a song that’s true.

A song whose inspiration speaks about my love.

Flowers, smiles, dreams; I bring it all to You.

My heart surrenders at your sweet embrace.

 

I hope to sing a song that’s real.

A song whose life is never meant to end.

Not even when the flame inside my heart will fade away,

Your hand is where I lay my soul at rest.

 

I want to sing a song that’s new.

A song whose touch is tender, yet so strong.

This song my heart has never sang before,

Jesus, you broke the chains that tied me for so long.

 

Estera J.

Tender, yet fierce.

Your feminine heart is needed in this fight.

The feminine heart is made for battle. Yes, we are soft and alluring, but we are also fierce and strong. In the fight against your heart you are needed to fight as a woman. Maybe you never realized this before, but it is true. Esther’s courage saved her people; they would’ve perished without her. She was needed. The Bible is filled with examples such as this one. God chose women for crucial battles because He knows the strength and fierceness he placed inside our hearts and He needs our feminine hearts to fight the way only a woman can. God created our hearts for battle because He knew so well that we will be required to fight. Yes, men are our image of a fighter, but women are warriors too. This is not to say that you will always fight by yourself, it is rather to portray the fact that you need to train now and become the partner that your husband will one day need when the two of you will fight together as one. You can’t just wait until then because the battle is happening as we speak and you are needed now. Also, the only way to learn how to be a good warrior is to fight. You are ready to fight now and you need to fight on your own behalf. Every moment, your heart is being assaulted by your enemy. In Stasi Eldredge’s book, Captivating; she talks about her battle against dizziness. It wasn’t until she commanded the evil spirit to leave from her that she was able to live a life without dizzy spells. She also opens up about her fight with depression and how she and her husband used the authority that Jesus Christ gave us over the powers of darkness. They both prayed that the foul spirit would be banished from her life. She was set free! The assaults over our lives can take many forms (physical, emotional, etc) and they are always spiritual. We need to step into the unseen world if we want to be able to fight for our hearts, but we must do this full of faith in God. It will not be easy and we might have to try again and again, but we will have victory through Christ! As soon as we learn how to fight in our own lives, we can start fighting on behalf of others by using our feminine hearts to bring life around us as well.
