My soul clings to you,Your right hand upholds me.
When I struggle or my heart is broken or I’ve failed or I don’t feel anything at all, I find myself wanting to figure it all out. I rush to and fro trying to understand the situation, my heart, how to get better. I don’t sleep at night and don’t get things done in the day, because my mind is trying to wrap around the events and feelings. I am wanting to understand who I am and why.
As God’s love washes over me, I am learning that I don’t have to figure it all out. I don’t have to run to and fro. There is only one place I need to run. And that is into the arms of Jesus. When I come to Him, He doesn’t always give me the answers I was searching for or I thought I needed or make it so that I have it all figured out. Instead of listening to us and fixing it, He loves us. . . He holds me in His arms and gives me Himself. I don’t think the deep longings of our heart is to have everything fixed, I think the deep longing of our hearts are by a man who has given everything for us. It is a person, not an understanding, that meets our needs.
God cares for us. He says that He knows our needs. And we can trust Him. We are more valuable than lilies and sparrows.
“. . . casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”
