He Saw the Best In Me

Hello everyone! I have been gone too long. I am back! I miss this blog and promise to never stay gone this long. With that disclaimer, let's begin: 

The next song was actually submitted by a dear friend of mine. He's a wonderful gentlemen that I am blessed to have in my life. He has a HUGE heart but has encountered some serious obstacles in his life. The song he submitted is a perfect testimony of his experiences. It is "He Saw The Best in Me" by Marvin Sapp. Here is a link to hear it ----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmWvE23y4ZY&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Nay Sayers suck! Their sole purpose in life is hate on you every chance they get. They are the people that can manage to find bad in everything you attempt to do. This song says regardless of these people in your life, God always sees the best and wants the best in/for you. 

There was some debate over the meaning of this song during my research. Some don't like it because they feel it gives Christians an excuse to sin and simply validates it by saying "oh God knows my heart.  He sees the BEST in me no matter what." Kind of far fetched if you ask me... but valid, I suppose. However, that is not the context of this blog.

I found a quote that reminds me so much of this song. It puts it in prospective perfectly.  It says "I am not who others said I am; I am what God said I am." No one knows you better than God.  God knows you possess a power that He has given you to stop the devil and all the nay sayers dead in their tracks! There is no one, no obstacles, no difficulties,  and no power on Earth that can stop God's promises in your life. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "I know the thoughts that I have toward you, says the Lord, even in your bondage, even in your captivity; they are good thoughts, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and hope."

Keep His promises foremost in your mind and the haters will flee. Start counting your blessing and joy will flood your being. You will see the faithfulness of God as recounted in this song ("He's mine and I'm his"). James 4:8 says, "Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh to you." This song is a reminder of God's constant love for us.  No matter what we've done, no matter where we came from, no matter where we're going---God's love is constant and has always been and forever will be.

Thank God for seeing the best in me! Amen.
