*In my sonorous bathroom voice
“Before I spoke a word, you were singing over me
You have been so, so good to me
Before I took a breath, you breathe your life in me
You have been so, so kind to me”
Chorus *my pitch a little a louder ….. ‘Cause I loovee this song
“Oh! The overwhelming, never ending
Reckless love of God.
Oh! It chases me down fights till I am found
Leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn’t earn it, I don’t deserve it
Still you give yourself away.”
Reckless love of God by Bethel Music. I love all the versions of this song by Steffany Gretzinger, Cory Asbury, the live performance, the studio version, the acoustic version, all of them.
Amongst the loads of songs I really like, I have voted it my song of the year.
It helps my flashback game; my rewind to past events is pretty easy with my song in the background.
I am so appreciative of how God has brought me thus far. I am in complete awe. Like! what! Abimbola is not the same as she was last year.
I am too thankful for my new life in Jesus; I’d say over and over it is the benchmark of remarkable things that has happened in my life and the ones yet to happen. My new life started sometime in 2016, it is the best, best thing to happen to me. Starting a new life with Jesus Christ, I am glad God saved me when He did.
I am thankful to my church pastor who announced about joining a group in the church, I thank God for not allowing me to rest until I made the move to join the group. I am thankful for the foundational class; I thank God for the life of my junior in high who gave her life to serving God. It was in her service, her teachings; my spirit got transformed and became conscious of the light of the world- Jesus.
In my new life I have found strength, loads of joy, peace inexplicable, wisdom, wealth, I have started new things, boldness to do things I ordinarily would not, it is amazing in this new life really. Thank you Jesus
I am thankful for time; this allowed me to understand that certain things were just not good for me and it was best I did not get them when I wanted them bad. Time has allowed me to heal, to grow, to stretch. It has allowed me to understand things do work together for the good for all who are called for a purpose and those who love God. I have learnt how to recognize God’s hand in situations; I have learnt a whole lot within the period of 50 weeks thereabout.
I am thankful for new friends I made this year I have made friends with some pretty interesting people. Friends who have helped some way or the other in my walk with God. A couple of them shared really awesome literature with me to read. God is a matchmaker- Derek & Ruth Prince, The Scarlet thread- Francine Rivers, How to know the will of God-Kenneth E Hagin, just a drop in the ocean of books I got from friends this year. Like friends that were genuinely interested in my growth just came my way.😊
The friend who always went on about the Holy Spirit, challenged me to speak in the heavenly language for minutes. I did not start to appreciate these talks until months after though but I am thankful, those tiny seeds grew into beautiful fruits.
My friends who would listen to me rant at my own pace whenever I was ready to.
My folks, my first support system on earth. These guys love me a whole lot man! Like they are constantly praying for me. I think they are the only ones I fight with at least ones a week but mad love is what they have for me. They really cannot stand to see me distraught, i don’t deserve them, I am extremely thankful for them.
My unit/group in church is another thing I am thankful for, I has given me the opportunity to work for God. I feel some sense of responsibility, like I am useful in this life. My commitment game grew while in my team -Goldmine.
Where I work right now, which could have only been God who set me up for it. Like I did not qualify for it, but here I am, growing strong. I am thankful for my smart boss as well; he is kind enough to rub off his smartness on us,on me.
Well I am so thankful for my finances, God has provided for me this year, I could afford most of the things I wanted this year. I was able to help out within my circle of influence
Yes! I am thankful for beautiful music like the one playing in the background; these kinds of songs have helped my soul a whole lot this year.
I am thankful God has kept till now, thankful I can post this right now.
what are the things you are thankful for?
