"When I sing that song now, I think about the girl that I was. I didn't believe that I was beautiful, I didn't believe that I was pretty. I just needed somebody to keep telling me that. I was like the bottomless well of love-need. I just wanted to be told and my husband would be like, ' I tell you every day,' and I'd be like, ' just tell me one more time.' And this is a bit of history, but it is a mark in history that changed me. I remember the Lord coming into my present and speaking to me and going back and healing some wounds in my heart from decades before, when I was a little girl. And speaking to that person, speaking the truth into those places. And now when I sing that song, I think about how every day of my life now is different because I think that the salvation that He meant to happen every day has finally come, where I every day believe that I am totally and completely loved just like I am. I'm truly adopted as a daughter and I don't have to do anything - I can't do anything to really just please Him except besides just being me. And I didn't grow up with that. I grew up thinking that if you just do these things, inside of Christianity and being a good believer or whatever, then you'll please the Lord. And that is just religious crap. It's just not true, it's a lie - really.
"I just want to encourage your heart tonight, that the Father's love for you is rich and wide and deep enough to not just tell you tonight but to reach into your heart and touch the places that have believed lies for ages and set it right. And give you a new, fresh mark in your history - to be able to go,' that's the day that I became me.' " - Robyn Pasley, House concert KC IHOP, 2007.
"It's one thing to be a professional worshiper; it's another thing to be somebody who receives love." Ben Pasley, House concert KC IHOP, 2007.
