“I’ll praise you in this storm and I will lift my hands.For you are who you are, no matter where I am.And every tear I’ve cried, you hold in your hands.You’ve never left my side and though my heart is torn,I will praise you in this storm.”
Days after Jubilee’s birth, I kept hearing the words of this song in my head. It’s one from about 10 years ago that we had on a worship CD as teenagers. I hopped on Google and found this version of it- I cried the entire time: not because I was sad but because it reminded me that no matter what happens in our lives, we are surrounded by the complete, all-consuming and unfailing love of God. It is amazing how God brings this back to you in the times that you need it the most. The words just expressed the attitude we are trying to have through our loss. Our hearts are torn- we miss our little girl terribly. As humans we have to accept that God has given us free will and at times bad things are going to happen to us- we are part of a fallen humanity- but it’s who we turn to and where we see God in these things that’s important. We are trying to keep Jesus at the centre; focussing on Him daily and remembering He is unchanging and He never leaves us. He rides through lives storms with us and even though it’s hard at times, we have to listen (and often search) for His voice and guidance in times of despair and unhappiness. Praise the Lord for his faithfulness!
