he never lets go

:: this song has a special place in my life. a few years ago i sang it and was brought to tears every single time. i didn't see the light. i didn't think what i was going through would ever end. i didn't want to give up but i didn't have the strength to keep going. but that was ok. i didn't need to be strong. all i needed was to be still and allow the Lord to fight for me. allow Him to fight for me [ex 14:14]

:: this week, i heard this song for the first time in a long time. looking back my life is so different than it was two years ago. the struggle has passed. that struggle at least. the Lord is always teaching me something and finding new ways to remind me to be still. to stop fighting for myself. He works it all out beautifully in His perfect timing. perfect timing...something that never seems to make sense until later.

:: He is always holding us. nothing can separate us from His love. remember that in the storm. remember that in the calm. don't fight against Him...grasping so tightly where he simply wants us to loosen our grasp, open our hand and let go of whatever it is we are holding on to.

:: let go knowing that He never will. let yourself relax in the struggle. let HIM fight for you. He knows your heart better than anyone.
