You'll Be In My Heart

I remember watching Tarzan when it came out and did not realize the impact this particular song would have on me. When you look at it in a Loving Parent/ Loving Father figure, it changes the perspective. 
God has been the only constant one there for me and my source of comfort. No matter what life threw at me, I could always count on him to be there.
When we first start our walk with God, it's like we are an infant - in his loving gaze and embrace. 
He watches over us, much like a parent or guardian does as we walk out our faith; allowing us to grow, learn and stumble along the way. The one thing is he never leaves, no matter what. We may push him away, walk away, and try to do things or own way, but he always remains. 
I hope this reminds you that no matter what, God - Abba is always there.

You’ll Be in My Heart” – A Song of Unshakable Love

Some songs go beyond being just melodies or lyrics — they become emotional anchors, reminders of love that endures no matter what. Phil Collins’ “You’ll Be in My Heart” is one of those timeless pieces. Originally written for Disney’s Tarzan, this song has since transcended the film to touch hearts all over the world.

“Come stop your crying, it will be all right…”

The song opens with words of comfort, like a parent soothing their child. This reminds us of God’s promise to wipe away every tear and calm our fears.

“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore…” (Revelation 21:4)

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7)


“Just take my hand, hold it tight…”

This line reflects trust — the assurance that someone stronger will guide us. God invites us to place our hand in His, no matter the uncertainty.

“For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, ‘Fear not, I am the one who helps you.’” (Isaiah 41:13)

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.” (Psalm 23:1–2)


“I will protect you from all around you…”

Love not only comforts — it defends. Just as the song promises protection, Scripture reminds us that God is our shield and refuge.

“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge…” (Psalm 18:2)

“The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.” (Psalm 121:7)


“For one so small, you seem so strong…”

Even in our weakness, love lifts us up. God looks at us with compassion and strengthens us when we cannot carry ourselves.

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)

“He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.” (Isaiah 40:29)


“You’ll be in my heart… from this day on, now and forever more.”

This refrain captures the permanence of love. God declares that His love is eternal, unshakable, and unending.

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning…” (Lamentations 3:22–23)

“I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.” (Jeremiah 31:3)


“No matter what they say, you’ll be here in my heart…”

The world may not understand the depth of love, but God’s love doesn’t need the world’s approval — it simply is.

“If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)

“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers… nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38–39)


Reflection Questions

1. Which scripture above speaks most to your current season of life?


2. How does the assurance of God’s love bring you comfort when you feel weak or alone?


3. Who in your life needs to hear today that they are “in your heart” — and in God’s?



A Short Prayer

Lord, thank You for reminding us through music and Your Word that we are never alone. Your love holds us, strengthens us, and protects us. Help us to cling to Your promises, trusting that we are forever in Your heart. And may we reflect that same steadfast love to others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Finding Hope in a Chaotic World

Image
  Finding Hope in a Chaotic World It’s no secret—our world feels like it’s spinning faster than ever. News headlines scream of war, division, disasters, and uncertainty. Social media floods our minds with noise, comparison, and fear. Even in our personal lives, chaos can creep in through broken relationships, financial strain, sickness, or simply the weight of daily pressures. So how do we hold on to hope when the world feels like it’s falling apart? 1. Recognize That Chaos Is Not New Chaos didn’t begin in our generation. From the moment sin entered the world, brokenness followed. History is full of moments that felt overwhelming. But through it all, God has been present. The same God who walked with Noah through the flood, who stood with David in the valley, who calmed the storm for the disciples—is with us now. “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” — John 16:33 (ESV) These words from Jesus aren’t a promise of a perfect life—bu...

Ohana and the Gospel: Biblical Truths in Lilo & Stitch

Image
     Anyone that knows me, knows how much I love Stitch. They may not truly know the real reason behind my love for the weird alien creature that is bent on destruction until he finds his "family", but I have a reason. The reason is the Ohana phrase and what it signifies to me. After being rejected by many in my life and feeling defeated and feeling out of control in many areas of my life, this phrase hits home for me. To me Ohana means the world - a once lonely girl - who found Jesus and he is my everything- my family. He never ever leaves me behind and has been the only constant thing in my life - through the thick and the thin. He never judges, never leaves, and never walks away. To me this is significant, because I have been trying to fill what was already filled all along. The deep longing that I was searching and trying to fill with everything else that one could, is only and already filled from Him. I just had not fully realized it until recently, and though I forg...

Moldy Bread and the Bible: A Crumb of Truth in the Unexpected

Image
Have you ever reached into the bread bag only to find green fuzz where a sandwich should’ve been? That sinking feeling of disappointment is all too familiar. You were hungry, expecting something fresh and nourishing—only to be met with mold. Funny how something as simple as moldy bread can remind us of deep spiritual truths. Moldy Bread and the Israelites In Joshua 9, a group of people called the Gibeonites came to the Israelites with moldy bread in their hands. Why? They were trying to trick Joshua into making a peace treaty with them by pretending they had traveled from a far-off land. > “This bread of ours was warm when we packed it at home on the day we left to come to you. But now see how dry and moldy it is.” (Joshua 9:12, ESV) The Israelites were convinced. The bread looked old, the clothes looked worn, and they didn’t ask God for guidance. So they made a deal—one they later regretted. Lesson #1: Don’t judge by appearances. The moldy bread seemed to prove a story,...
