I am so thankful that I serve a God who is all the time good. I may not always understand His ways but I know that I can rest forever in His arms. If I spend an eternity singing of His goodness, there will still be more goodness of His to sing about!
Here is a song that really struck a cord with my heart today. May it also minister to yours.
Come to Jesus – by Chris Rice
Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!
Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!
And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!
Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!
O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!
And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!
I especially like the last stanza because it reminds me that there is no sting in death. That as Christians we can laugh through our tears because Jesus has won the victory over death!

Great song! Great thoughts!
Thanks Jennie. I can't wait to have more time so that I can sit and read your posts. All I was able to do today was to take a quick peak. ;)
