Most mornings at 8 a.m. we head for the community swimming pool. Together with just a few morning people, we enjoy a peaceful swim. There’s something rejuvenating about the weightless feeling of floating. Total relaxation, nothing hurts.
Journeying through the waters of life is more difficult. We rarely feel that total relaxation of weightlessness, and yes, we hurt. We need something to hold us up. When life feels overwhelming, Jesus is always there to lift us up. There’s a reassurance in God’s hold on us that is more secure than the waters of the pool
Jesus’ love is constant and unchanging. Romans 8:38-39 affirms that nothing can separate us from His love. His promise of eternal security remains even through trials or failures, sustaining and lifting us in our weakest moments. We will not sink; he will lift us up.
You may enjoy this hymn, “He Lifts Me Up,” from the Windsor Park Congregatiion, NAC.

Oh how I loved this song! I almost felt it was like my male friend at church singing it. We are so blessed to have music that helps us see God! Peace be with you. 🙏🏼
