By Your Side - TSMSS

In exactly five days, my wanderer will take a giant step in what I hope is the beginning of his journey back to the Lord. This has been on my mind a great deal and even more so as the days count down. I am holding on to the promise the Lord gave me last November about my son. My prayers have been for him to realize that once he starts back, his Heavenly Father will come meet him with open arms. He still has many trials and troublesome circumstances to deal with, but he has the choice of trying to handle them on his own, or turning them over to God and trusting Him to have control.

Unlike earthly "friends",

GOD

is always there

never leaves

always hears

never forsakes

always forgives

never holds a grudge

always loves

and never fails

IF we allow Him to and don't turn away...

I love this song because it talks about some of these very things. Please listen to the words and whisper a short prayer for my prodigal that he will understand and accept these wonderful truths.

Why are you striving these days
Why are you trying to earn grace
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away

Why are you looking for love
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough
To where will you go child
Tell me where will you run
To where will you run

And I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

Look at these hands and my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in
And give you life
I want to give you life

Cause I, I love you
I want you to know
That I, I love you
I'll never let you go
