Cling

Sometimes my writing inspiration comes from just one single word. It’s as if God plants something so simple in my mind and says, “Here—work with that. Write about that.”

Today, that word is cling.

It comes from my constant hunger for, and complete reliance on, Jesus. As I go through my days and my life, I cling to every word, every hope, every promise, and every comfort He provides. It reminds me of a child clinging to their parents for safety—I cling to Jesus in the same way. 

This world gives me plenty of reasons to let go, but Jesus gives me every reason to hang on.

I found Psalm 63:8 (NLT), and it struck me hard: “I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely.”

I cling because I deeply love Him.

I cling because I desperately need Him.

I cling because I wholeheartedly trust Him.

I cling because He is the only constant in a world that never is.

I cling because I know His grasp is even stronger than mine.
