Recently there has been a lot of turmoil in my life from a very unexpected source. I have felt sincerely like my heart was being ripped from my chest. The pain is less each day which I am thankful for. I'm sitting here listening to this song called "Bank" by NeedToBreathe which is a song that God is basically is singing to us. The lyrics are amazing:
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
Just like the banks to the river
(Oh) And if you ever feel like you are not enough
I'm gonna break all your mirrors
(Oh) I wanna be there when the darkness closes in
To make the truth a little clearer
(Oh) I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
I'll be the banks for your river
This song has a really catchy tune too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqifjBtNzLw
As I am listening, I think to myself, all I really need in this life is God. I have felt so alone going through this turmoil, but at the end of the day as long as I have Christ I am never alone. He has led me to this life and He will lead me through it. Wiser. For sure.
The past 6 months have been so hard for me, but I am emerging stronger than ever and that is a God thing friends. I wish I could count how many times I fall apart and God shows up and puts me back together, like renovating a house over and over. I am a work in progress, but guess what?? I have never lost my faith. I wholeheartedly believe God will save me every single time I am in peril. And He does.
What a miraculous gift!!
And the verse for the day on Bible Gateway is of course hand picked for me as always:
The Lord will vindicate me; your love, Lord, endures forever— do not abandon the works of your hands.
Psalm 138:8
