I'll stand by you

Secular music is one of my past loves...
I don't listen to it much anymore.
I try to fill my heart with Godly things...

I try to fill my mind with Godly things..

If you want to look at where you heart is...look to your mind when it wanders...
I have heard that expression before..
so i try to continually keep my thoughts upon God..

One day I was driving home from a road trip.
I was driving with my cousin and a song came on the radio..

I'll Stand By You..by the Pretenders...

This may seem strange...
I know that this song wasn't intented to be written for God.

But as I listened, I felt as if Jesus was saying,

this is how I feel about you.
I'll stand by you.....

As you read the lyrics,
remember that He will stand by you...

I hope this post doesn't offend anyone.
Truthfully, I have no idea how God feels about the Pretenders or
about the song, I'll Stand by you.
but I do know that He will stand by us,
even in our darkest hour
and nothing we confess,
could make Him love us less...

I'll stand by you..

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'Cause I've seen the dark side too

When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothin' you confess, could make me love you less

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

So, if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now

Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you

When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'Cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

And when, when the night falls on you, baby
You're feelin' all alone
You won't be on your own

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Yeah

Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you
No, no, no, no, no
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you

I Will Never Leave You nor Forsake You

Hebrews 13:5-6

He will stand by you.

Won't let nobody hurt you.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11

then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.

Psalms 91:10

nothing you confess, could make me love you less

1 Corinthians 13:4–8

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

1 John 3:16 - "This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers." 1 John 3:18 - "Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."
