Nothing seems to really reach in and grab your heart like a good song that hits the spot. One of my latest favorites is Matt Maher’s Hold Us Together which is posted below. (Pause the other player at the bottom on the blog first so they don't play at the same time.) The first thing that strikes me is the truth in the words. Love. Seriously… love can’t do a lot of the things we chase so hard after as humans. But it’s all you need! I love that it’s waitin’ for you….knockin’ at your door. It’s what your heart is for! So back up…what is love?? God is love!! This song means so much to me, because in a very difficult time in my life, when I seriously wonder some days if I will just explode from the pressures and issues that happen in life…..God will hold me together! Make me a shelter to weather the storm. Then I get the privilege of taking what He has taught me, and share it with my brothers, fellow humans who just like me go through hard stuff in this world. Without some of you just being “my brother’s keeper”…..you know, caring about and loving me, this would have been a much more painful and lonely walk. So yeah, I’ve been loving this song for a while now, but then God tells me something so much more. You’ve got to go look this up! Google Laminin. Better yet, YouTube Louie Giglio’s “How Great Is Our God” Louie teaches about Laminin it’s so amazing how truly God holds us together…..literally!! If you only make time for the Laminin part, look for the (short version). I would really encourage everyone to watch all of “How Great Is Our God”. It’s broken into 5 parts, each from 5-8 min. Very much worth your time friend.
When it feels like everything is so out of control, it’s never too big for the “Star Breathing God”!! I love Him so much! The One Who always loves me!!
