Are you hanging on for dear life, trying to grin and bear it through another day? Do you feel like your options are limited? Like you have only a few small things to hang onto, or else you’re going down. Do you fear the hard fall?
If so, take heart. You don’t need to fear. You never need to fear, not with God near.
Even now, God still has His eye on you. Yes, you. He’s watching your every move carefully. As life gets harder, God comes closer. His hand is always ready to catch you if you slip. He won’t let you fall. The only place you will ever fall if you do is into HIS arms.
Because Love never fails(1 Cor. 13:8).
So do not fear, for I am with you.
I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you.
I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you.
Do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10-11 (NIV)

Tiffany, this is a wonderful post. When I saw the first photo I thought it was a girl lying on the beach! The photos of her climbing the wall, and being helped go very perfectly with what you write here.
Great post, and so wonderfully true!!
Love and Blessings, Angel

Sometimes that is the only thing that keeps me holding on…knowing He is right there, and will not let me fall. Thanks!
a great verse and reminder …
Thank you for this! It's a great reminder of how God carries us even when we think we're not able to move. Praise God.
Amen on the post, and love the photos!
Tiffany,
What a great idea for this picture along with your post! Great tie in! I thought she was so much higher up the wall then it was.

Wonderful post, really spoke to my heart. I love you sis.
This is one of my very favorite verses. Through the difficult years God would often remind me of this verse. There were times when it took all that was within me to continue on….
He carried me through…
I am seeing now that it's not so much about hanging on as it is of letting go… Need warrants grace… It's a beautiful thing. I've written on my blog about what is becoming my reality. I am embracing Grace….
