Three years ago, when I was walking out something crushing, I bought a song on iTunes by Tenth Avenue North called "Worn."
The chorus goes:
"Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart that's frail and torn
I want to know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that's dead inside can be reborn
'Cuz I'm worn."
I used to listen to this song on repeat because I was under so much condemnation, torment, and torture from the enemy. I kept pushing through and fighting because I knew that there wasn't really any option. I was blessed by Yahweh to have nothing to go back to if I left Him. I knew that leaving Him would kill me, and I would rather die in faith than in fear.
Over the past three years, I have had the normal ups and downs that come from walking in the Kingdom, but the worst time was during the last school year when the enemy tried again to kill me. I was honestly not sure I would make it. Again, this chorus was the cry of my heart. "Let me know that all that's dead inside can be reborn." Even though I didn't yet know it, I was fighting for the manifestation of Yahweh's Promise in me, the rebirth of all that He placed in me before time and which was killed at the fall.
This morning, the song kept playing in my head, and so I listened to it on my computer. As I listened, I began to sob because I know that all that's dead inside has been reborn. I feel it! It is there. I am alive again and I am so, so grateful and blessed by this.
So I wanted to encourage you, to be the one who "lets [you] see redemption win." The struggle does end. Yahweh can mend a heart that's frail and torn. A song does rise from the ashes of a broken life, and all that is dead inside can be reborn.
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. ~Galatians 6:9
