A Passion for Thee - hymn cover

Instructions

I discovered a new hymn that I really enjoy singing. I genuinely don't mind the tiny audience to this shift in my content (I normally post art, as you know). It doesn't matter how many people see it, but /who/ sees it. The number one person seeing this will always be God, and as long as He sees it that's all that matters. These covers are praises to Him anyway. Quick mention of my testimony and an update to how I'm doing now for those who don't know: The Lord used a Christian summer camp in late July of this year to speak to and transform my heart, rededicating my life to Him. So much growth has happened in my spiritual walk with the Lord since then, but recently, times have been especially rough and my walk with Jesus has been difficult to say the least. The past week and just month in general I have been falling back into old habits, not even wrestling with sins but just easily falling into them without even a second thought. Because of this as well as hardships I faced at school this week, I started to think these lies about God. That I'm too "awful" for Him and I'm not worthy to talk to Him or pray to Him or ask for forgiveness. That I've gone too far and kept going against my Word that He doesn't want to hear from me. But friends, if there's anything that this hardship has taught me, it's that adversity and the aftermath of you sinning should NOT screw up the truth of who God is. It's tempting to do that, but instead of focusing on your thoughts and yourself, focus on God. God didn't love me any less before or after I sinned. Only He defines who I am. That's why I should listen to Him and even when I feel like hating on myself over all the bad I've done, I try my best not to, because the Lord doesn't. So why should I? What I did does not diminish what Jesus did for me and you on the cross. It's not to say that we should abuse His mercy, or give us an excuse to sin, but it's not like there is "no hope" for you or that you're "too bad" to ask for forgiveness. Compared to August and September, I've been getting too wound up in school and tech again that it starts to become an idol. I will keep praying and trusting in the Lord to guide me, and that He will help me not put these idols over Him. That He would grant me with a passion for Him in all I do. If anyone actually read this, let this be your reminder to run back to the Lord, your Heavenly father. Cry out to Him! He will welcome you back with open arms no matter the state of which you are in right now. If you have anything to say or prayer requests, don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'd love to talk with you especially about Jesus!
