Jesus,Lover of my soul.
Jesus, i will never let you go
You've taken me from the miry clay
Set my feet upon the rock
And now i know.
I love you.I need you
Though my world may fall
I'LL NEVER LET YOU GO
it's a really old song.one of the first songs that i sang when i first stepped into the house of God.and that is a step i've never regretted taking.
it's amazing how real God is. how all-emcompassing his love is. the way he never gives up on us,no matter what we're done.
sometimes when i reflect and think about it. i really can't help but shed tears when it hits me..that nothing i do can ever make him give up on me..or turn his face away from me..his love for us is just that great..
life isn't always easy.that is one thing i've learnt from the past year..but no matter what ,there is a very real God up there watching over us.
-she just sat there..tears streaking down her face.. as she wondered why she had to be the one to go through this..lamenting how unfair life was..she turned her face heavenward and asked the father where he was when she needed him,when she felt all alone..at once,she felt inexplicibly drawn to a book..turning it opening to a random page,the first thing she laid eyes on were these words:"the crowd gathered.some weeping with sorrow,yet others raging with anger.their attention focused on the frontlines, where there were mere children,being lined up to be shot just based on the "Crime"that they were of the wrong race.It was a scene my friend never forgot.then turning to me, he asked "where was God when these children needed him?If God is real,why didn't he stop them"i turned back to him, and realised. God is REAL. He was there for those children.HE SENT HIS ONLY SON TO DIE ON THE CROSS FOR US.US AND NO ONE ELSE BUT US.THE FACT IS THAT HE HAS GONE THROUGH WHAT THOSE CHILDREN WENT THROUGH.HE HAS SUFFERED EVERYTHING THAT YOU AND I HAVE SUFFERED AND WILL SUFFER.HE KNOWS WHAT IT IS LIKE AND WILL BE LIKE.HE HAS BEEN THERE.AND HE WILL BE THERE FOR US."shutting the book silently, she closed her eyes and said a silent prayer of thanks.the look on her face now a peaceful one"
How can we possibly turn our back on someone who loves us as much as that?
When the oceans rise
And Thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still.
Know you are God.
--sometimes we can't make the pain go away.but it helps knowing that someone is always there for you--
