I have looked you in the eyes
I have seen the tears you cried
I have heard you question why
You are here
There is a reason, there's a plan
There is a God Who understands
He's got your life inside His hands
Have no fear, 'cause He says
In all your hurt, in all your pain
I'll never leave, I won't forsake
You're my child and I'm your God
Come and rest in my love
I know this road is steep
And I know you're tired and weak
But the God of perfect peace
Is right here
He is the shelter from the storm
He is a rock, firm and secure
He is hope forever more
Have no fear, 'cause He says
In all your hurt, in all your pain
I'll never leave, I won't forsake
You're my child and I'm your God
Come and rest in my love
When everything seems out of control
I'm holding on, I won't let go
You're my child and I'm your God
Come and rest in my love
There is hope tonight
There is everlasting life
Dry away your tears
'Cause the morning sun will rise
Love will never fail
He will never fail, he says
In all your hurt, in all your pain
I'll never leave, I won't forsake
You're my child and I'm your God
Come and rest in my love
When everything seems out of control
I'm holding on, I won't let go
You're my child and I'm your God
Come and rest in my love
"In My Love" // Phil Wickham
When this song came on my Spotify tonight, I couldn't help but feel completely overwhelmed by my God. As I sat in stillness and really listened to each word, I heard Jesus' voice. I know hurt, confusion and that feeling of life being too much for me to take on all too well. In those moments of loneliness, those moments empty of peace, I forget who God is. I forget that He is constant, even when everything around me- my friends, my health, my home- is not. I forget that He is the God of perfect peace; a rock, firm and secure. He is true, even in my wandering. He is not a distant God, He's here. Even when I don't get it, or when I feel no one gets it, He is a God who understands.
My source of comfort is knowing that I am intimately loved by a God who gets it and invites me to rest in His love when I am weakest, when I have nowhere else to run. I'm reminded yet again of His overwhelming adoration for me.
When you are in the midst of pain, remember that You are His child and He's your God. He knows what He's doing and He promises it's for your good- even when you can't see it.
You are known.
You are chosen.
You are loved.
You are held.
You are His.
