One of the great things about social media is being able to get Christian content that is engaging, fun, and inspiring. That is until you read the comments. I’ll just stick to retweeting and sharing.
Spent the weekend in Atlanta for the Joel Osteen, Night of Hope. Walking back to the hotel, I noticed someone giving a couple of dollars to a homeless person. I then noticed a person next to him recoding the whole thing. After “donating” the person looks at the camera, smiles and throws a peace sign. They then place the camera in front of the man who just got a couple of dollars.
Was this really necessary? I am sure the person receiving the money is grateful, but I can’t stop thinking he would want some dignity as well. PJSLB.
For the record, everyone here at NeedTheSpirit has been a fan of Lauren Daigle since day one. From her album – Look Up Child to the inspiration of How Can It Be, Lauren has always been a go to when our spirits need “filling up”
On May 1, 2019 something amazing happened. With just under eight million people watching their TV’s we see Lauren standing on top of a small platform, ready to perform her hit You Say. What happens next will take your breath away.
It sends shivers down my spine to know that millons of people around the world are listening to this song. I am not exargerating when i say this. Despite the Billboard Awards having performances from mega superstarts such as The Jonas Brother and Mariah Carey, it was Luaren’s performance that was the most “Shazamed” act of the night.
What an inspiring night that will be in the minds and hearts of millions of people for years to come. God Bless PJSLB
My walk with Christ has been one big soundtrack. I can hear a song and immediately go back to a time when i head this song. Songs that remind of of the power of God (God’s Not Dead – Newsboys) to the inspiration that i need at that particuar moment (Lauren Daigle.)
Lately, my “go to song” has been Tauren Wells – Hills and Valleys. According to his Wiki page, Tauren has been in the music industry for more than 15 years. The song i am currently in love with Hills and Valleys peaked at number 3 in the charts in 2017. The song speaks to me with where i am at in my walk with Christ. I have been through the highs and the lows of life and i recognize that in it all, Jesus has been with me the whole time. Such a beautiful song that is beautifully wrttien and speaks to the heart. I hope you enjoy. God Bless – PJSLB.
I’ve walked among the shadows
You wiped my tears away
And I’ve felt the pain of heartbreak
And I’ve seen the brighter days
And I’ve prayed prayers to Heaven
From my lowest place
And I have held Your blessings
God, You give and take away
No matter what I have, Your grace is enough
No matter where I am, I’m standing in Your love
On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the One who set me there
In the valley, I will lift my eyes
To the One who sees me there
When I’m standing on the mountain
I didn’t get there on my own
When I’m walking through the valley
I know I am not alone
You’re God of the hills and valleys
Hills and valleys
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone
I’ve watched my dreams get broken
In You, I hope again
No matter what I know
I’m safe inside Your hands
On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the One who set me there (to the One who set me there)
In the valley, I will lift my eyes
To the One who sees me there
When I’m standing on the mountain
I didn’t get there on my own
When I’m walking through the valley
I know I am not alone
You’re God of the hills and valleys
Hills and valleys
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone
Father, You give and take away
Every joy and every pain
Through it all, You will remain
Over it all
Father, You give and take away
Every joy and every pain
Through it all, You will remain
Over it all
On the mountains, I will bow my life, yeah
In the valley, I will lift my eyes, yeah
On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the One who set me there (to the One who set me there)
In the valley, I will lift my eyes
To the One who sees me there
When I’m standing on the mountain
I didn’t get there on my own
When I’m walking through the valley
I know I am not alone (I’m not alone)
You’re God of the hills and valleys (yeah)
Hills and valleys
God of the hills and valleys (You’re the God of the hills)
And I am not alone
You’re God of the hills and valleys (yeah)
Hills and valleys
God of the hills and valleys (You’re the God of the hills)
And I am not alone (God of the valleys)
And I will choose to say
Blessed be Your Name
And I am not alone
