Jesus overcome me.

"If I believe your name can save - then I will trust in what you promise. If you can overcome the grave - then you will overcome me. 
Jesus overcome me. Loosen my chains."

If I can believe that God is able to heal the brokenhearted, orphans, widows, sick, blind, prostitutes, and addicts. I must be able to believe he can change me. He can heal me of any pain whether present or previous. 

I know in order for him to be able to change me and heal me -- I must open myself up and allow him to heal me. I must be able to be open and trust that he can heal me. I must not hide or put on a mask in order to remain a hypocrite but I must come before him as the broken, selfish and terrible person I am and allow him to see that. 

The beauty of his restoration is that he can see us in our worst moments. He can see us when we are feeling the deepest feelings of loneliness and despair. He can see these things and all he see is his beloved. 

"Daughter, dry your tears. Your father is home. I am not going anywhere. If you feel you need to cry I will let you. But trust me- this is not the end." 

My soul ought to boast of Christ because in every ounce of despair and weakness he is with me. He is in all these things no matter how painful.
