" Because you are special* to me, and I love you, I gladly give up other peoples in exchange for you; They are trivial by comparison to your weighty significance. " _Isaiah 43:4* (The Voice)

Forever in Our Lives

You are forever in my life,
You see me through the seasons.

- Hillsong: Through It All

God will never leave us,
nor forsakes us.

Every season,
Every year,
Every month,
Every hour,
Every second,
He’s always here.

No matter what we do,
how much we fail,
how much we disappoint,
how many times we make mistakes,
He’s still here.
You see,
He has already given His best to you.

So makes you think,
After all that Jesus has done,
Your Father has abandoned you?

Beloved,
Be (forever) loved.
It is not: He loves me?
He loves me not?
It is love,
without the question (mark).
Jesus loves me,
This I know.

His love has conquered all.

Love in The Shadows

It’s dark,
My spirit is weak.

I can’t see,
Confused and dazed,
With gloomy surroundings.

I can feel the crashing of waves,
As the storm arises.

No longer able to breathe,
Stifling and choking,
Trying to stay afloat.

There is no rest.

The will to go on is diminishing,
Survival seems to be just a dream,
Just a luxury that never comes on by. 

But Jesus,
You’ll never let me go.
Your love I will follow.
Be my light,
And lead me on.

Turning my eyes upon You,
I can walk on water,
and conquer the oceans deep.

You stretched forth your hand,
As I gripped onto a Savior.

Held by Your love,
Your strength like no other,
You carried me and made a way.

There is still hope.

Faithful as You are,
No matter what we do,
Your astronomical grace always encloses on us.

Abandonment is not what you do.
Even when the world seems to crash down upon me,
You always stood here by my side,
Forever with me in the midst of my troubles.

This is love in the shadows.
