Truly it is a blessing to be able to see Jesus through the eyes of great musical ministers, such as Mandisa, of American Idol fame. She is definitely one who loves the Lord with all of her heart, dedicates her time to inspire those who feel the same, and reaches out to those who are seeking to understand more about who Jesus is.
She is a true rock star in her own right -- having accomplished much more in her young life time than many older artists. However, in my eyes, she is also a rock star because she has tackled her health challenge due to obesity in a very healthy and comprehensive manner. Be sure to check out her video blog on the Tangle.com network.
I truly love each of the songs I have heard that she has had on her own album or has sung with others (like Kirk Franklin and Toby Mac). So, it has been a real strugggglllle to choose just one song to post here. The song I chose is a true tear jerker, especially when viewed as a music video, because Mandisa addresses the struggles that many folks are going through right now and exhorts us to continue trusting in the Lord because "He Is With You" (on Sparrow Records).
And that is all we need: for God the Father to live in our hearts because of the blood of Jesus setting us free from sin and death. He never leaves us nor forsakes us and always brings us through our trials. The trial will eventually pass you by, so, just hang in there and trust Him to get you through it.
Mandisa truly is a beautiful young lady, both inside and out. Please enjoy this video posted below entitled "He Is With You" (and make sure you get the tissue out before you press play).
Also, as additional encouragement (and for more tears), take a look at the second video posted below the music video, and let friends/family who have lost a child or another loved one know about it and watch it with them to encourage them.
