by my side

The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

- Psalm 118:6 (NKJV)

 

I seem to revisit the idea that we are not alone quite often in my “daily bread”.

Perhaps it is because I do see people that I care about struggling with things and wondering when it is going to get better.

I just want to hug them and tell them that they are not alone.

As everyone who knows me is aware, I love music, I listen closely to song lyrics and quite often I find in the lyrics something that speaks to me, and it is not always Christian music that does this.  

Here is a country music song reference for you:

There's so much breakin' up

Folks who won't fall in love

Put up shelves, guard themselves

Build walls

And it makes me cry sometimes

'Cause people live lonely lives

They don't want to try

They don't want to live at all

But I'm not gonna be afraid

To give up my heart that way

'Cause I need you

I need you by my side

And I'm not gonna say I'm strong

Out here in this world alone

'Cause I need you

I need you by my side

And when you find someone

Someone you really love

It makes life easier to bear

But some folks live on their own

Shut themselves in at home

They never find out what love's all about

'Cause they're scared

But I'm not gonna be afraid

To give up my heart that way

'Cause I need you

I need you by my side

I'm not gonna say I'm strong

Out here in this world alone

'Cause I need you

I need you by my side

'Cause I need you

I need you by my side

This song was written about relationships but think about your relationship with God . . . how many times do we “break up” with God?

We think that we know more than He does, that we can get through things without Him, but we need Him, by our side.

We all have friends or family that put up walls against God, who won’t let Him in, but they need Him too.

God is what love is all about, and yeah, it can be pretty scary living this life, but with Him by our side, it is not as lonely or frightening and you will never find anyone to love you more.
