Back to You

The past few weeks have been a rather trying period for me....I shall deign to expound on how it was so at a later time. The first thing I must do is to examine things in retrospect and glean the li'l lessons I can from the ups and downs.....

But most importantly, I felt that the 'storms' I have undergone ( in the kind of 'what won't kill you makes you stronger' mode ) have made me realise one key truth. Realisation hit me as I was listening to my MP3 selection in my iPod Shuffle. How apt are the lyrics to Bryan Adams' song 'Back To You'.....

I've been down, I've been beat
I've been so tired that I could not speak
I've been so lost that I could not see
I wanted things that were out of reach
Then I found You and You helped me through
And You showed me what to do
That's why I am coming back to You...

*Like a star that guides a ship across the ocean
That's how Your love can take me home back to You
And if I wish upon a star, that someday I'll be where You are,
I know that day is coming soon
Yeah I'm coming back to You.*

You've been alone but You did not show it
You've been in pain when I did not know it
You let me do what I needed to, You were there when I needed You
Mighta let You down, mighta messed You round
But ya never changed your point of view
That's why I am coming back to You

Repeat *

Interesting how this song reflected the gamut of 'emotions' I felt towards God. Indeed, great is His faithfulness, which can be rather humbling.
