lump

"No need to pray, no need to speak...

The arms of the ocean are carrying me

And all this devotion was rushing onto me

And the question of heaven

For a sinner like me

But the arms of the ocean delivered me

Never let me go, never let me go

Never let me go, never let me go."

- Florence + the Machine

My unfaithful weeks, words and thoughts are not enough to undo His faithfulness to me. My anger and doubt do not lessen His love or deter His grace. He holds me gently even when I am trying to thrash Him away. He rains His tears over me even when I am swallowing the lump in my throat. He sings over me even when I play my music loud enough so as to block out His voice. He tells me He will never let me go even when I am running away. He says "I will carry you" even when I am sure I will fall.

"The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."

- Exodus 14:14
