You are for me

I've been listening to this song over and over this week. It's so simple as far as words go but it really speaks to my heart. It's called You are for me by Kari Jobe...


"So faithful. So constant. 
So loving and so true.
So powerful in all You do.

You fill me. You see me. 
You know my every move
and You love for me to sing to You.

I know that You are for me. 
I know that You are for me.
I know that You will never, 
forsake me in my weaknesses

I know that You have come now, 
even if to write upon my heart.
To remind me who You are.

So patient, So gracious, 
So merciful and true…
So wonderful in all You do. 
You know me. You see me.
You know my every move. 
You love for me to sing to You

Lord, I know that You are for me.
I know that You are for me.
I know that You will never, 
forsake me in my weaknesses.
I know that You have come now, 
even if to write upon my heart.

To remind me that 
I know that You are for me.
I know that You are for me.
I know that You will never, 
forsake me in my weaknesses.
I know that You have come now,
even if to write upon my heart.
To remind me who You are. 

I know that You are for me.
I know that You are for me.
I know that You will never, 
forsake me in my weaknesses.
I know that You will come now,
even if to write upon my heart.
To remind me of who You are."

The first few lines are what speak to me... "So faithful. So constant. So loving and so true." Things in life can often be unreliable and as far as people go, they're always going to let you down because thats just human nature. I know for me that there are about 4 people in my life that I feel that I can completely rely on but at some point every one of those people have let me down, as I am sure I have let them down too. That line says it all though... Even though people and life can let you down and be unreliable, GOD is so FAITHFUL, CONSTANT & TRUE. Then the song goes on to say "So patient. So gracious. So merciful and true." Raise your hand if you have ever needed mercy *Raises hand.* I know I sure have. Everyday, in fact, I need God's mercy. And it's always available. Sometimes when someone does something to me or my family I tend to just write them off and, unlike God, not be merciful. One thing I am constantly learning is that you never know someone elses story. You never know where someone is coming from but regardless of that I think some times we just don't give people the benefit of the doubt. What if we all thought and loved more like Jesus? Wouldn't the world and even church be a much more pleasant place to live in? I certainly think so. Think about it... We are constantly failing God. It's human nature but he never keeps his forgiveness, love and MERCY from us. He gives is freely BECAUSE He loves us. 

Just thought I would share some of what's been on my heart lately. I know I'm not the best writer but that's ok. I hope you enjoyed this little note. Try to love someone like Jesus loves us this week :)
