Salvation is Here

No man is worth crying over, and any man that is, won't make you cry.

It's funny how life works out. Sometimes it's ridiculously awesome, and then the next moment, things have completely fallen apart. I'm not a person that handles that well. I don't like being lied to, because when one aspect of something is a sham, then inevitably it feels like the house was built of mud instead of real brick. I don't like being hurt when I make a valiant effort to trust someone. I don't like feeling like I'm trapped in a sinkhole (like the one in The Lovely Bones where stuff magically sinks into the gloopy mess at the bottom!).

However.

I am not without a rescue. I have the Almighty God to pull me out. And thankfully, He does, every single time. He is so gracious and loving, so kind and understanding, forgiving and tender. He is the Rock that stands strong throughout every storm, and quiets the winds when the need arises. Our God is so great, so mighty, and the Redeemer of all the world.

A wonderful friend of mine made me a mix CD (how awesomely 2002...yeeeahhh buddy) that had on it Times by Tenth Avenue North, and I think that, considering the revisiting of a moment I thought had been put in the past, that song is yet again, comforting.

On a side note, it's raining again. It always rains here, but tonight, the rain is fitting. I hope it stays for a while and keeps me company :)

Psalm 23

The LORD is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for You are with me.
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me, in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all of the days of my life,
And I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
