My Heart Will Go On - Letting Go Of The Sorrows of 2020

Letting Go Of The Sorrows of 2020

Lord help me write this.....

This has probably been the hardest Christmas Season I've ever had to get through and I know that there were many of you that had it much harder than me. It seemed like a Season of Sorrow. Looking back over the past year it has been life changing to most. There have been many husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers, children and friends that were called home this year.
I was going through songs when I ran across this one. I pulled it up and started singing it. When it first came out years ago I had lost someone who I was close to. Memories started filling my mind and then I felt the Holy Spirit start speaking to me of all of you who lost so much this past year. And not just in loss of life but also in relationships. Divorce, break-ups, friends moving away. It is never easy to lose people we love, even when they're still here on this earth.
Some we had to say good-bye to that came out of His Word in

2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: FROM SUCH TURN AWAY.

This was a major scripture that the Lord put into many lives this year as we are seeing the fulfillment of its prophetic content. Sometimes letting go of people we love after having tried so hard to help is absolute heartbreak.
Many lost their homes and business's due to the shut downs and riots. People that worked hard all their lives for them.
And we all lost and said good-bye to a way of life that I don't think we will ever see again. Even if it does come back it will never be the same. The Lord is shaking this world. He is saying Wake up, be ready, I'm coming!

I feel in my heart and deep in my spirit that as 2020 closes we need to surrender all our pain and heartache to the Lord if you haven't already done it. 2021 is before us and I feel in my spirit that we need to somber up and open our eyes and say to the Lord. "I'm ready, whatever you have for me to do in service for you, I'm ready." As we go forward we hold those dear to us that we lost, in our hearts living out the strength they gave us when we had them next to us. Let their love live on in our hearts and in our service to our Lord and Savior. Knowing they take every step with us cheering us on from the Heavens above to run the race set before us and finish our course. There are still others in the stands watching us to see what we are going to do and set the example for them to follow. You do make a difference in many lives that are watching you.
Let us leave all sorrow and regret behind us and look toward tomorrow what Christ holds in store for us.

Phillipians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Singing is something the Lord has put in me as I'm sure many of you also. It is an escape from the world and fills me with joy! I sing this song in memory of all that was lost this past year. I pray that every heart is healed and mended by the hand of God to go forward knowing those you love are still with you, never to be lost. They are truly cheering you on.

I love you, Cecilia
