Nothing in this world
Nothing in this whole wide world
Could ever take me from Your hand
Even if I run away
And I don't have the strength to make it back home
I know that You will guide me

Cause You are the One who picked me up
Brushed me off and called me loved
You showed me I am Yours

You are mine
Jesus, You are mine
I know that I'm unworthy
Completely undeserving
I'm amazed, I'm amazed
That I am Yours
And You are mine
You are mine

Even when I can't feel You
Even when my soul is crying out
And it looks like I have nobody

Lord, You'll be the One to pick me up
Brush me off and call me loved
Yes, I know that I am Yours

And You are mine
Jesus, You are mine
I know that I'm unworthy
Completely undeserving
I'm amazed, I'm amazed
That I am Yours
And You are mine

I am home, I am home
I am home here with You
I am home, I am home
I am home here with You

Oh, Jesus I am home, I am home
I am home right here with You
I'm blessed to call you... mine
I'm amazed that you are... mine

I know that I'm unworthy
Completely undeserving
I'm amazed, I'm amazed
That I am Yours
Oh, I'm amazed
I'm amazed
That I am Yours
And You are mine
You are mine 

Jesus Himself says:  "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand." //John 10:28-29

 "...to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes."// isaiah 61:3

  i know sometimes the enemy tries to play on our minds and tries so hard to use people and circumstance to make feel unworthy and think that we are trash but thank God there is Jesus! He loves us sooo much! and absolutely nothing can take us from Him unless we choose to walk away from Him to dwell in the camp of the enemy and stubbornly refuse to go back to Him.

i love that Jesus loves me...on my good days, and especially on my bad days. and i love that when I was in the pit of depression He was there with me...crying in the pit with Me and pulled me out, brushed me off and called me loved. i love how He keeps reminding me that He is alwayssss with me and that i should keep my focus on Him. He is a tender Bestfriend and i love, love, how i can tell Him everything and anything, even when i have hard questions i need Him to explain. He is awesome!

 as you're reading this i'd like to encourage you to make your walk with Jesus very personal. He has unique ways that He communicates with all of His children. Physically talking to Him and journaling help me to get up close and personal with Him. He is mine, and i am His and i love it!

xoxo
