Holding On

Journaling:

Every little baby

Comes into the world

Reaching for an anchor

Fingers tightly curled

Grasping for a reason

Without knowing why

We will cling to anything

`Till the day we die

We can hold onto sorrow

Hold on to pain

We can hold on to anger

When there is nothing to be gained

We can hold to a thread

At the end of a rope

But if we hold on to Jesus

We are holding onto hope

(Twila Paris)

Oh I can't remember if I posted this layout here or not, but I think it deserves a repost. I created this layout several months ago, but this month I have felt like I was at the end of my rope more than once. Discouragement and depression kept wanting to wind their way into my heart. Then I thought about this layout and the words---and I know that with Jesus there is hope. I know it might sound trite, but I've walked through some hard times and He has always been faithful. Someday I might elaborate, but for now I'm basically preaching to myself--reminding myself that He is faithful.
