Beyond What I Deserve


Lisa-Jo's prompt opened up all kinds of wonder inside me. The word, beyond, is so refreshing to me.

This week I've embarked on an adventure of living out my dreams. 


All of a sudden, I hear it again...

"You can't live this dream."
"You don't have what it takes."
"How can you even think this is something you should do?"
"No one will even want to be a part of it."

I pause, breathe in an out deeply. I remember to slow flow. "Easy as she goes, Jeri." I tell myself. Then, there it is. God's refreshing life words to my soul. A song we wrote years ago.

Beyond what I deserve, You breathe your life into me.
Beyond what I deserve, You give your grace so freely
Beyond what I deserve, You make me right with you
You make me right with You
Beyond what I deserve.

The dream I'm embarking on is His dream. It's beyond what I deserve. It's beyond me. That's why I know it's His to live out in and through me. The dream will bless, encourage, and change me and so many others. 

You have His dream inside of you. He wants to bless you with it and in turn bless others...beyond what we all deserve.



Thank You for your heart Lisa-Jo

Talk about inspiring!
Just today the words of doubt, fear, and "no way" crept into my heart as I dreamed my dream. This is just what I needed to hear right now, at this moment. Yes, it is beyond me...but that's because it is HIS dream, and He will live it out in me and through me....and like you, it will be a blessing! Beautiful! Powerful! True!

WOW!
(I doubt I'll be able to sleep now!)

Thank you for sharing!

I love this and I love the lyrics to the song you wrote.

I'm so thankful we can stand on God's Word and press through all of the doubt and fear. I have to talk myself through it too!

Have a blessed day!
