Special Shout-out to Ash Lemonade of Sweetened Podcast for today's anchor scripture!

Psalm 1:3-4 ESV - "He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.

Today's featured song: Masterpiece x KB

Listen here: The Pieces Podcast Official Playlist - Apple Music or Spotify

The lyrics say,

"Darling, you're a masterpiece

Breathing melodies

There's nothing that you have to be

You're a masterpiece

I'm lookin' at a masterpiece

Before you even try, there's nothing to decide

Just know in every scar life leaves

It's working on a masterpiece

You're too dark, too short, too tall

You're not enough, not enough, go and change it all

On and on it goes, girl, don't keep up

Just say goodbye, waste your life tryna be a ten

That ten ain't worth a dime

When you're lost let me be your guide

Play my songs, see who you are through your father's eyes

And when you fall, baby, come to me

Whatever you become, I'll always be in love

'Cause, baby, you're a masterpiece"

Embassy City Church - Dan Lian Sermon on "Waiting" (Breakdown of Value)

Anchor Scripture: An anchor scripture is that one scripture that holds a lot of power. It's a reminder that no matter how we might drift off or lose ourselves in the process of LIFE, it'll always help us recenter and remind us of the character and presence of God in our life.

John 15: 2-10 NIV: "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. 9 "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in his love.

This playlist is a continuation of the initial "Pieces Made Whole" Playlist which began at the beginning of 2020 year with a rededication to myself. To pour into myself with none other than the source of my strength and all things good in my life, Christ. I created this second playlist to continue to help me use my love for music and give it back to the Lord so that He is glorified. This music often narrated my quiet time in my devotionals to center my thoughts in Him. I hope this playlist urges you to listen intently to how the Lord is trying to speak to you within every lyric.
