'One Day' by Effie: Finding Victory in Life's Unseen Path


Effie's song "One Day" is a beautiful reminder that life's fog of uncertainty is temporary and that victory & clarity are just around the corner. Effie shared that one evening she was sitting in her room with her guitar and thinking about feeling loss and how darkness can seem to sweep over us. She began to sing and play out the words and melody that came into her heart. It seemed to just pour out, and it turned into a song that captures the essence of faith's journey, showing how Christ went from what seemed to be defeat to ultimate victory.

Effie - One DayEffie sings: "You knew that your final climb // Was leading to victory," about our walk through life's unseen plans, towards a masterpiece we're still not able to fully grasp. An unwavering belief that even in moments when we can't piece together the bigger picture, God is at work in our lives, crafting something that is far beyond our imagination - where "the dark will be swallowed by the light" and who we are "will finally awake."

Effie encourages us to keep our faith in God and trust that everything we experience in our lives fits into a greater and more wonderful plan. We will see the beauty and hope in His plan as it comes together piece by piece. It's perfectly okay if we can't see it just yet. Effie calls us to trust in what we cannot see beyond the horizon, because God promises that the day will come when all doubts will clear and we start to see the riches that come from our journey.

So, take a moment and give Effie's song "One Day" a listen. May "One Day" help you to stand strong in faith, patiently look to see beyond the here and now, and embrace the hope of what His plan will unveil one day.

(Related scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:12; Romans 8:18; 2 Corinthians 4:17-18)

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....
