Never Let Go

Ever have one of those moments when you unexpectedly get very emotional? That was me this morning in church. I was rocking along in worship singing “loud and proud” like I always do. Then the song “Never Let Go” started. I like the song ok, but I wouldn’t say it’s one of my favorites. (no offense to Matt Redman) Today it hit me to my core. The message of it spoke straight to me and the tears started. It seems every day I’m working to “cast out fear” and telling myself to “fear no evil”. I am so glad that I serve a God that will “never let go” and that is always with me.

Here are the lyrics…
===================
Never Let Go by Matt Redman

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I'm caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won't turn back
I know you are near

And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?

Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me

And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We'll live to know You here on the earth
====================
God also gave me a special verse this week. I love the way it reads in The Message… "But me, I'm not giving up. I'm sticking around to see what God will do. I'm waiting for God to make things right. I'm counting on God to listen to me." -Micah 7:7

So as we enter yet another “Mercy Monday” I ask you to pray for us. The past couple of weeks we’ve had some highs and lows, but we know God is in all of it. We are waiting on a very important appointment to get scheduled. Please pray for this to happen soon. As you can imagine, my heart is aching for all of my family to be together.
