never alone~

“I waited for you today
But you didn’t show
No no no
I needed You today
So where did You go?
You told me to call
Said You’d be there
And though I haven’t seen You
Are You still there?

I cried out with no reply
And I can’t feel You by my side
So I’ll hold tight to what I know
You’re here and I”m never alone

And though I cannot see You
And I can’t explain why
Such a deep, deep reassurance
You’ve placed in my life

We cannot separate
‘Cause You’re part of me
And though You’re invisible
I’ll trust the unseen

We cannot separate
You’re part of me
And though You’re invisible
I’ll trust the unseen

I cried out with no reply
And I can’t feel You by my side
So I’ll hold tight to what I know
You’re here and I”m never alone”

 

wow. is that my heart’s cry right now or what?

there is so much beauty here.

so many reasons to be joyful.

but so often, i’m so concentrated on the here-and-now that i forget to look at the BIG PICTURE. and i forget that there IS more to my story. and i forget. forget that through it all, God IS still there.

my friend asked me today what Ps. 63:3 meant. what the writer was implying when he said: ”Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.”  she, being the very intellectual person, who always thinks things through (action-result), etc, etc.. was looking at this verse through a telescope. trying to read the fine print, as it were… 

however, the answer to her question is very simple: God IS faithful.

this verse is saying it in plain english: the world will let us down. all the time. we can be having a great day, and even that can end in rain.

but God is still there. He never leaves us.

odd, cuz most times when i’m working through stuff/ struggling, i honestly don’t believe that. in fact, it’s about those times when i start to really wonder what kind of God would let his believers go through that much pain by themselves…

but it’s not about me.

yet, it is.

::sigh::

 I honestly believe that God brings us through “alone times” (ya know, times when we feel completely alone and like no one in the world understands what we’re going through…?) in order to bring us closer to Him. in order to perfect us. ultimately making “a better you” ((laughs to self while writing this, cuz that would make a great advertisement…))

i heard once that “God doesn’t bring us through the fire to burn us, but to refine us”

hate how true that statement is, cuz i despise being in pain.

but if it’s to make me see/understand how beautiful/faithful my God really is… then isn’t it worth it?
