To borrow those two simple words from Michael Jordan as he told the world he was returning – to basketball.

The last 2 weeks have been hard. Physically trying. Exhausting. Emotionally draining.

But through it all. Through everything I’ve gone through in the past number of days, it has never been spiritually empty. Jesus was here. The entire time. During moments that I could barely get to an upright position due to exhaustion. During the times I laid on the couch moaning – as I battled nausea. During some times I received some surprising news. But guess what. Jesus was here. Jesus was always here. Jesus never left. Never took a break.

I’m reminded, once again, that Jesus wants it all. All of us. He doesn’t swing by only during the best times. When everything is going well. As we feel we are approaching “the wall”. Maybe unable to go farther that day. We feel something. That “I’m being watched” feeling. Then – we see – the cause. Of that feeling. It’s because Jesus is. Watching. Caring. Loving. Never left. Never took a break.

We find it’s us. It’s always us. God is faithful. Always faithful. Peter looked down – Jesus didn’t.

Jordan St. Cyr has a song. “No Matter What”. So wonderful uses song to express. It’s me. It’s us. It’s never Jesus. Time to draw close. Let Jesus’ arms wrap around us. Let Him draw us close. Let Him love us.

No Matter What by jordan st. cyr

When I think my faith isn’t big enough
To make this mountain move
When my strength’s finally given up
I’ve done all I can do

It’s a too familiar story
But you’ve always been there for me
Even now I trust you’ll get me through

When I’m kicking and screaming
When I struggle believing
God, You are always faithful
No matter what
When my eyes cannot see it
And my heart doesn’t feel it
God, You are always faithful
No matter what

God you know my humanity is anything but whole
Still you say that you want me and you won’t let me go

Without a doubt over and over
You put my burdens on your shoulders
It’s never been about what I can do
It’s always you

When I’m kicking and screaming
When I struggle believing
God, You are always faithful
No matter what
When my eyes cannot see it
And my heart doesn’t feel it
God, You are always faithful
No matter what

No matter if I have the faith
No matter if I see a way
You’re with me right now and always
No matter if I have the strength
No matter the choices I’ve made
You fight for me now and always, always
No matter what

When I’m kicking and screaming
When I struggle believing
God, You are always faithful
No matter what
When my eyes cannot see it
And my heart doesn’t feel it
God, You are always faithful
No matter what

God, You are always faithful
No matter what
