Ever faithful Ever true... He Never Lets Go

I keep ignoring God. Seriously, I've been in a bad mood for 4 days and all the while consciously thinking to myself "I just need to spend time with Jesus, then I'll be fine" and then going and finding something else to do. That's just silly. So I finally heeded His call and sat down with Him.

I'm really amazed at God's love right now. His grace. God has been showing me how much he really is always there. This covenant He made with us, it wasn't a joke. I know we know, He will never leave us, but deep down inside we still think that means He really won't leave us if we do the right thing, think the right thoughts and love Him enough. But when He says He won't leave us, He really means He won't leave us. And I'm starting to get that. When it feels like He's not there, He is. When it feels like He's not answering us, He is. When everything is perfect in life, He's there. When everything is horrible, He's there. He never lets go. Never ever ever lets go. It's this incomprehensible love that seems impossible because its rarely experienced on this earth. And in that, I've realized how our relationship with God really is our greatest treasure. Everything else can be taken away, but nothing and no one can ever take away our relationship with Jesus from us. "Neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything in all creation can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." romans 8:38-9

Great song:

"Never Let Go" -David Crowder

"When clouds veil sun
And disaster comes
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
When waters rise
And hope takes flight
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul

Ever faithful
Ever true
You I know
You never let go
You never let go
You never let go
You never let go

When clouds brought rain
And disaster came
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
When waters rose
And hope had flown
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul

Oh, my soul
Overflows
Oh, what love, oh, what love
Oh, my soul
Fills hope
Perfect love that never lets go

Oh, what love, oh, what love
Oh, what love, oh, what love
In joy and pain
In sun and rain
You're the same
Oh, You never let go"

A friend of ours who is a believer and very involved in his church is constantly inviting us to things. This year he decided to completely quit speaking english to us, which has been incredibly helpful, and helped my comprehension immensely. However, sometimes out of laziness I don't feel like putting in the effort to really read his messages on Facebook. So all I read was that we were going to his church at 7. We showed up and him and his band were having practice, and they're all like, yeah, c'mon you're singing, we're all practicing. Haha. We tried to get out of it, explaining we are not very good singers, but one woman said "you sing for the Lord, not for us." Well, you can't really argue with that logic. So we sang. At the end we made sure we wouldn't have to stand in front of church on Sunday. They assured us that we would just be in the pews like everyone else and the 5 of them would be up front. So we showed up on Sunday and they ask us to come stand up there with them. So.... we did. haha. It was so fun. They are such a great group of people. We really never know what we're going to get ourselves into every day!
