Someone reminded me to not sit in the dark for too long. They meant that I shouldn't stay stuck in the area of my own sin, without remembering God's sovereignty in it all. After God showing me the importance of recognizing my own sin, I didn't want to end the evening without finding the peace and rest that only He can bring. Long story short, I am safe. I am safe in His forgiveness. His love will never fail me. God's got this. He knows how the story will end. He's known since Adam and Eve's sin, that we would struggle in relationships. Adam and Eve's sin exposed their nakedness. They had always been naked but after the fall of men, they realized it and covered their sin and shame. Of course there were consequences of their sin, but God didn't leave them there doomed for the rest of their lives, nor did he leave us doomed for our future. He is in control.
Even though I walk through the shadows
I will not fear
Mountains high and in every valley low
My God is near
My God is near
I am safe in the arms of the Father
I am safe in the arms of the Father
I am resting in Your embrace
I know Your love will never fail
Every step I know You are with me
I will not fear
In You I find a refuge in every storm
My God is near
My God is near
My deliverer, my deliverer
Your love will never fail
Sing it
My deliverer, my deliverer
Your love will never fail
Your love will never fail
I am resting in Your embrace
I know Your love will never fail
I love this picture. My Father holds me like this. I am safe in his arms. Just like this child.
