I have had many dark days in the past 4 or 5 months, not all days, but more then I would have wished for. However, that darkness has a bit of light to it right now. While it might just be a flicker of a candle, it is light. It has hope. It contains a flame that not only burns on the wick, but also in my heart. My heart desires more. It has been broken, yet God offers to repair it still, even after everything I've done. Everyone I've hurt. He still mends. But not only does He mend, He gives me even more. He gives me strength, desire and dreams, or rather awakens me to all those that the darkness had overshadowed. My dreams that I have had before had been shut off. They were no longer dreams but almost had become nightmares. Fear of achieving them had overcome me. Now that I realize that, I have pulled down the fear and can see the excitement that it was covering up. Yes, the future is scary in that it is unknown, but it has endless opportunities as well. As I head to bed tonight, my dreams are full of desire, passion, and trust that God has me in His hands so there is no reason to fear. Its all going to be alright.
Arms That Hold The Universe- Fee
I know it seemsLike this could be
The darkest day you've known
But believe you me
The God of strength
Will never let you go
He will overcome, I know
And the arms that hold the universe
Are holding you tonight
You can rest inside
It's gonna be alright
And the voice that calmed the raging sea
Is calling you His child
So be still and know He's in control
He will never let you go
Through many dangers, toils and snares
You have already come
His grace has brought you safe this far
(And) His grace will lead you home
And the arms that hold the universe
Are holding you tonight
You can rest inside
It's gonna be alright
And the voice that calmed the raging sea
Is calling you His child
So be still and know He's in control
He will never let you go
You can hope, you can rise, you can stand
He has still got the whole world in His hands
You can hope, you can rise, you can stand
He's still got the whole world, the whole world in His hands
And the arms that hold the universe
Are holding you tonight
You can rest inside
It's gonna be alright
And the voice that calmed the raging sea
Is calling you His child
So be still and know He's in control
He will never let you go
He will never let you go
(He's) Still got the whole world in His hands
in His hands, yeah
Still got the whole world in His hand
I love that song! It is on my most played playlist!
