The amazing Lord of lords.

"When you're broken, when you're weak. When you turn the other check. When you cannot speak of the bitter sweet, the bitter sweetness. When the floor gives out beneath, and everything that you believe, cannot give you peace. You're broken inside, broken in pieces.

You can rest in the arms of the one who holds you. Rest in the arms of the One who knows you. Rest in the arms of the One who won't let go. You can rest in the arms of the One who holds you. Rest in the arms of the One who loves you. Rest in the arms of the One who won't let go.

When the water starts the rise, and you've lost the will to fight. When you're losing light, just close your eyes, close your eyes now. Have no fear, I'll be here.

You can rest in the arms of the one who holds you. Rest in the arms of the One who knows you. Rest in the arms of the One who won't let go. You can rest in the arms of the One who holds you. Rest in the arms of the One who loves you. Rest in the arms of the One who won't let go." By: Aaron Shust, Rest In The Arms

It is amazing to hear these songs, and have a revelation that we always need to rest in the arms of our amazing Savior. Our God is great. Our God is good. He is loving, merciful, and gives us everything we don't deserve. He takes on our problems as His own, forgives everything we ask Him to, and He never leaves us.

What a God to have! Where other people simply have "religion" and false gods and such to believe in, OUR God is faithful, and we are able to see Him in things through our every day life, and feel Him when we have troubles. How many other "gods" can have that title? Not one. We are blessed to have such an amazing Lord to believe in, when so many people today have no hope, and no idea what will happen to them when they're gone. So many don't know the fear and awfulness of hell..they think if they don't believe in it, they won't go there. Oh, how sad! To have no hope of a life forever and ever. To all of those who don't know what their life will come to...Jesus came, died, and saved all who come to Him. His gift to those who believe in Him is eternal life after death, and the most incredible love you've ever imagined! I don't know how people can live their life without Christ, honestly. There are times when I wouldn't have gone on with my life, but because God was there for me and strengthened me, I kept going. To have the promise of never being left alone is one nobody else can give. To have the promise of forgiveness no matter what you do is something nobody else can give you.

God is not a religion, and those who think believing in God is simply a "religion"
are seriously mistaken. Choosing to follow God is a commitment to a relationship. As a song by Jayson Gray says, "Its gotta be more like falling in love, than something to believe in. More like losing my heart than giving my allegiance."
Christianity is not some made up religion that will simply "fill the gaps in our life." And it's not a "false hope." It's a visible, real relationship with the Creator...one who has evidence of being alive by everything you see around you.

Something I always remind myself, is that Christianity is not about rules; it's about love. It's not about judging others, but judging oneself. It's not about the laws, but the forgiveness and mercy. When we do the first (love) we will strive harder to follow the "laws" (which, incidentally, are written on all of our hearts) that God has given us, BECAUSE we love God. Christianity isn't about checking off another number when we bring someone to Christ. It's not about how many people came to Sunday school, or gave in the offering plate. It's not about the activities we offer to the public, or how much of our time we give to organizations as "charity." It's about God, and loving those around us as He did, and as He told us to do. But then again...we do have that freedom to love. We must choose to love our neighbor's and those who despise us.

Choose God! He will be the most amazing decision you'll ever make in your life. And though your life won't be perfect and without pain, you will be one of the few who have a supernatural strength backing you up and constantly being with you. "You can rest in the arms of the One who holds you..."
