Susan Boyle
April 12, 2009
Oh my! This brought real tears to my eyes and I am still tearing. I will watch this video again and again and whenever I am tempted to be discouraged by the derision of the crowds.
Chuck Goetschel posted a link on Facebook this morning and, at first, I almost passed it over. We were taken to the Britain's Got Talent contest to meet a sweet and delightful lady named Susan Boyle. I was blown away!
We are more than we can even
imagine. This dear woman's confidence in the person God had given her
to be just blessed me down to my socks - as did her inspiring
performance. Susan Boyle is my latest hero!
Not only is she singing the song; she is living it!
I
Samuel 16:7: "But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his
countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused
him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the
outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart."
The
derisive laughter of the crowds will turn to amazement, wonder, and joy
if you will not be deterred by their discouraging words and looks. Keep
moving forward in resurrection hope!

May it be a wake up call to all of us.
