Already All I Need lyrics (a song sung by C.Nockels)

Asking where You are Lord, wondering where You’ve been 
 Is like standing in a hurricane trying to find the wind 
 Hoping for Your mercy to meet me where I am 
 Is forgetting that Your thoughts for me outnumber the sand You fill the sun with morning light 
 You bent the moon to lead the night 
 You clothed the lillies bright and beautiful You’re already all I need 
 Already everything that 
I could hope for 
You’re already all I need 
 You’ve already set me free
 Already making me more like You 
You’re already all I need 
 Jesus, You’re already all I need. Walking through this life without Your freedom in my heart 
 Is like holding onto shackles that You have torn apart 
 So remind me of Your promises and all that You have done 
 In this world I will have trouble, but You have overcome And every gift that I receive, You determined just for me 
 But nothing I desire compares to You In Your fullness, You’re my all in all 
 In Your healing, I’m forever...

The Writer's Dilema

One thing about being a scriptwriter is that sometimes you have to put yourselves in someone's shoes, you go under someone's skin to listen to their heart and to bring that voice out in your writing. It is one thing when you are writing fiction, another when you are basing your writing on someone's life, someone's heart song. I have been writing for a programme that requires me to peer into the tapestry of two souls who have lost their loved ones. One is a parent and one is a wife... both are roles that I play in my life. Reading their accounts, reading about their struggles, reading about the beautiful testimony of faith that their loved ones have left them, I cannot help but wish I could reach out to hug them. The LORD bless me to write their stories in a way to touch hearts. To give me the wisdom to tell of the TRUTH behind their loved ones' courage even as I tread the thin line between writing for my faith, and writing within the boundaries set upon me by my...

To someone out there with suicidal thoughts AND/OR struggling with depression

Usually the thoughts of I am all alone and it is pointless isn't coming from you. The devil is called the accuser and a liar. The accusations and lies you hear are not from yourself. Picture it this way- a part of you deep inside wants to live but is afraid there is no point to do so. That fear allows those thoughts of pointlessness in. I used to be suicidal and depressed for 10 years or so until the HS broke the illusion of the lies that the devil tried to cloud me with. The devil wants us to focus on the self instead of how much Jesus loves us and what He has already won for us. When we focus on self, we stay in a vicious cycle or loop where we can't get out of the situation. This is because we can only break out if we look to Jesus and call out to Him- for at His name, every knee must bow & when the Complete comes, the incompletes (the darkness that is) has to flee. As long as we are negative, we are weak- exactly where the enemy wants us to be. The joy of the ...
