Just Be Held

Sometimes God shows himself to you at just the right time.  Life is hard.  Life is amazing.  As we live it, though, sometimes we just don't understand - which I have come to realize is okay. Through the struggles, happiness, tears, anger, joy, and mundane there is always one constant - God.  Do we always understand His plan or agree with it - ABSOLUTELY NOT.  That doesn't mean we stop believing and it doesn't make Him love us any less.  I've noticed lately that at my most broken is where I find Jesus the most.  I know that I should find and seek Him even when things are going great (I'm still working on that), but it is comforting knowing He will continue to be there even as I fail Him.

Psalm 15:13  "In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling."

Psalm 13:5 "But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation"

Psalm 90: 14  "Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days."

"Just Be Held" by Casting Crowns

Hold it all together

Everybody needs you strong

But life hits you out of nowhere

And barely leaves you holding on

And when you're tired of fighting

Chained by your control

There's freedom in surrender

Lay it down and let it go

So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away

You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held

Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into place

I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held

Just be held, just be held

If your eyes are on the storm

You'll wonder if I love you still

But if your eyes are on the cross

You'll know I always have and I always will

And not a tear is wasted

In time, you'll understand

I'm painting beauty with the ashes

Your life is in My hands

Lift your hands, lift your eyes

In the storm is where you'll find Me

And where you are, I'll hold your heart

I'll hold your heart

Come to Me, find your rest

In the arms of the God who wont let go
