Ever have those times where things are going really well and you're extremely happy, and then the truth comes out and reality hits? Tonight's been one of those times. I don't really want to go into detail, but something that I thought wouldn't be an issue anymore came back and once again, really hurt me - maybe more so now, because I thought it wouldn't happen. Anyways...while I was sitting here studying for my earth science test tomorrow night (yikes), a song came on itunes that I normally skip. Not that I don't like it, but I usually like to listen to music I know so I can sing along with it [which can be a vicious cycle at times, because then how do you ever learn more music?]. But tonight I didn't skip it, and it was perfect. Here's the lyrics to the chorus and also the bridge at the end:
I try to be so tough
But I'm just not strong enough
I can't do this alone, God I need You to hold on to me
I try to be good enough
But I'm nothing without Your love
Savior, please keep saving me
....
Everything You are to me
Is everything I'll ever need
And I am learning to believe
That I don't have to prove a thing
'Cause You're the one who's saving me
It's good to be reminded that God is also interested in comforting us through our pain. Also, sometimes we can't rely on our own strength to do the right thing or have the right attitude - but He will give us the strength. It was also good to be reminded of the truth that in Him I have everything I need.
