Holding On

Life has been full of disappointments lately.

If I would have written this blog post last week, like I was thinking about doing, it probably would have come off pretty bitter and down.

The more I've been thinking about everything, the more I've been realizing I can't let myself get so down about this stuff.

Because it's people letting me down...and we all know people are famous for that.

But, there is One who never lets me down...and I just need to keep my eyes fixed on Him.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
(Deuteronomy 31:6, NIV)

While I am by no means terrified or afraid of anyone, I just love the message of this verse. No matter how I'm being treated by people, or how often people disappoint me, God is always with me. He will never leave me.

And that, my friends, is something I can hold onto this week.

(Of course, I am also holding onto this one this week...literally)
