One of my most favorite songs is by Kari Jobe, “What Love Is This”.
In the song she sings “I'm standing here beneath the shadow of the cross, I'm overwhelmed that I keep finding open arms”
So many times in life, storms come and go.. People come and go.. And when times are so overwhelming, that it takes your breath away, and you feel all alone, and you feel like you deserve to be abandoned and have no one to run to. It’s when you can just stop everything, say nothing, and just let the one that really matters remind you that he still loves you, and still thinks you are precious. Trying to understand his love is what is tough, but while you are dealing with so much doubt, he never left you.. I have this vision of every time a person falls down flat on their face, and have no desire to keep going.. That a small tiny seed of hope shows up, and so you pick yourself up and dust yourself off, and just run into those arms that are always waiting for you.. We have been told that as long as your heart is still beating, and as long as your still breathing, there is always hope..
Also read on FB, a cute little cartoon story, that shows Jesus talking to a fella, saying you see there is our foot prints where I walked with you thru that storm, and right there is where I had to drag you..Whether you are being walked with, carried or dragged, just know you are not alone..
You are never alone, and you are loved..
