None But Jesus

Yesterday as I attended the youth group at my church they sang a song during worship called "None But Jesus" by Hillsong.

There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise

When singing this song it made some things pop up into my mind.

First I remembered singing this in early August at BAAYF.

Second I remembered Marc telling me that you can't find satisfaction or fulfillment in anyone in this world. The only person is Jesus.

My whole life I believed that in order for me to live happily was to be surrounded by love from others and to be accepted and know that I will always have someone there for me. But people fail. Loved ones leave. Friends say goodbye.
What happens when you have no one else left? You feel lonely. Unloved. Lost. You feel worthless. You start to believe that no one likes you. You think there is something wrong with yourself.

I just want to say that those things do happen in life. It may or may not have happened yet.

This is one of the highlights of my summer. Realizing that I should seek refuge in one that is everlasting, unchanging and faithful to the end. I have to honestly say that is easy to say but hard to follow through. But a part of the verse in the song stood out to me and made me nod my head in agreement.

In the chaos, in confusion
I know You're Soveriegn still
