Project of Love is: the bible in song 🔥🙌
Every Isaiah-song is special to me, but this one, Isaiah 38/40, I especially like.
It's got two themes: the cry for healing and God's promise: if you trust (in) Him, you'll find new strength, new hope, you'll run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.
Before I surrendered my life, my everything to God, my Papa, I've struggled for over 20 years with depression, a longing for death and addictions.
In my life 'without God', I always felt close to eagles. Those beautiful, majestic birds.
After I gave my life to Him, one of the first verses the Holy Spirit breathed into me was Isaiah 40:31
I love that verse. It also reminds me of what Jesus told us "remain in me and I'll remain in you". (John 15:4)
He freed me from depression, but I all too well feel the pain Hezekia was in in Isa 38, his cry for life, cry for an answer.
I am now free from depression. But I am not bulletproof. If I let go of His hand, even one day, I put myself at risk.
So I start every day with Him. With His word. Cause I need it. I can't and don't want to live without it. His words are like a fine comb combing thru my spirit, that gets rid of everything that was not meant for me.
If you're dealing with depression, anxiety, or whatever mental (or physical) illness. Sing these words, His words, out loud. Give your pain or whatever it is to Him. He wants you to be alive. FULLY alive! And soar high like an eagle! 🙌 🦅

Project of Love is one man, Xander Stok, and his God-inspired dream: to put all books of the bible to song. One on one scripture in song. Words of Life, sung to life. This project is born out of a deep love for the Word of God and its Author. ❤️
Three years ago, after 20 years of struggling with depression, he met with God.
"He took me out of the pit, gave me new life, new clothes, a mission, and here I am.
In January 2021, while I was reading the book of Isaiah, I heard a quiet voice say: "grab your guitar and sing what you're reading".
That's what I did and I'm still doing.
Share this where you can and get the Word out!🔥🙌😉
