God Never Lets Go

Isaiah 41:10 - "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand"

One Sunday I woke up and everything seemed so complicated. So much drama everywhere. I wrote in my journal: There needs to be more love and forgiveness. I was having feelings of being overwhelmed. I ask God to let me feel his presence, to help me keep my focus. When ever I feel God's presence, I get cold chills and this lets me know He is near.

I decided to attend the Xperience service at our church with my husband and granddaughter. I normally attend the Traditional service because I sing in the choir.

As I sat down waiting for the service to begin, I sat wondering, thinking about all the giants I was facing. The music began and I started to focus on my surroundings. The song You Never Let Go was being played by the band. As I sang watching the words on the big screen, I got cold chills, I was so touched, tears came to my eyes and I knew God was speaking to me. I felt a warmth come over me. I knew it was God's loving arms holding me tight. By the time the service was over I was so filled with God's love, and assurance that no matter what, I knew He would never forsake me, never let go. I can count on Him to always be near.

Peace and joy doesn't mean that we won't have giants in our daily lives, it means that God is always near, never lets go and nothing we face will snatch us from God.
