HOLD US TOGETHER (Matt Maher)

It don't have a job
Don't pay your bills
Won't buy you a home
In Beverly Hills
Won't fix your life
And find easy steps
Ain't the low or the limp
Or the government
But it’s all  you need
Love, will, hold us together
Make us a shelter
to weather the storm
And I'll, be, my brother’s keeper
So the whole world will know
That we're not alone
It's waiting for you
Knocking at your door
Every moment of truth
When your heart hits the floor
When you're on your knees then
Love, will, hold us together
Make us a shelter
to weather the storm
And I'll, be, my brother’s keeper
So the whole world will know
That we're not alone
This is the first, day of the rest of your life
This is the first, day of the rest of your life
'Cause even in the dark you can still see the light
It's going to be alright,  it’s going to be alright
This is the first, day of the rest of your life
This is the first, day of the rest of your life
'Cause even in the dark you can still see the light
It's going to be alright, it’s going to be alright
Love, will, hold us together
Make us a shelter
to weather the storm
And I'll, be, my brother’s keeper
So the whole world will know
That we're not alone

Good morning Lord Jesus.  Feelings are this:??????  Facts are this:  You love me.  Your love towards me does not change based on my behavior.  Your mercies are new every morning.  The only thing good in my life is You and Your righteousness.  You have plans for me, plans to prosper and be in good health, even as my soul prospers.  I make a decision today to walk in the truth and faith and not in my “feelings”.  They are subject to change and Your truth that I have been given through the years never changes.  Love will hold me together, Love, true love that only Christ can give will weather the storm.

Lord, I need time with You today.  I need to dig into Your Word that feeds me.  I need to pour out my heart to You, Wash Your feet and let you tell me what You think about the circumstances and relationships in my life.  Time is what I need.  I can’t give out what I haven’t poured in.  I am pursuing a deeper relationship with someone right now and I know that I have to open my heart in order to make room for this person.  I desire to know this person better.  The only way that will happen is time and commitment.

So today Lord, I desire to spend more time with You.  I will not allow any of the other voices of life to keep me from listening to and hearing Your still small voice.  You deserve more of my attention and I will give it to You.  You feed my soul, You give me water for the dry places.  It can’t come from anywhere else, You are the Living Water and You will never run dry.  There is no substitution for time.  I have heard others say it’s quality time versus actual time (seconds, minutes & etc).  Yes, quality time is important…..but can’t be a substitute for actual time being full of quality.  Needless to say that today I am

Not in a hurry,
