"...I am the light of the world..." John 8:12

Faith is believing that God is present when all we hear is silence

 

When we love the least of these......

We offer our heart, oh God, completely to You

Is there some problem in your life to solve,
Some passage seeming full of mystery?
God knows, who brings the hidden things to light.
He keeps the key.
 
Is there some door closed by the Father's hand
Which widely opened you had hoped to see?
Trust God and wait - for when He shuts the door
He keeps the key.
 
Is there some earnest prayer unanswered yet,
or answered NOT as you had thought 'twould be?
God will make clear His purpose by and by.
He keeps the key.
 
Have patience with your God, your patient God,
All wise, all knowing, no long lingerer He,
And of the door of all your future life
He keeps the key.
 
Unfailing comfort, sweet and blessed rest,
To know of EVERY door He keeps the key.
That He at last when just HE sees is best,
Will give it THEE.

Psalm 39:4-5, 7

"Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.  Remind me that my days are numbered - how fleeting my life is.  You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.  My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath."  Psalm 39:4-5

My greatest treasure of all - God's amazing love.  This is what holds me up; especially on the really hard days when we are having to do some really hard stuff.......like unpacking Carter's things that have been packed away for two years.  God's amazing love and goodness.  It is He who holds me up.  Thank You, Father! 

"And so, Lord, where do I put my hope?  My only hope is in you."  Psalm 39:7

I spent the entire weekend in Carter's clothes, looking through his old school days, and looking at his little earthly treasures.  I smelled every piece of his clothing, hoping and trying to find his smell.....just a tiny, tiny bit of his beautiful Carter smell.  I remember it.  I miss him so much.  The difficult journey of a grieving parent is a heavy load.  But with God by our side, He will carry us through and hold us up until we are all together once again. 

Bless the Lord, o my soul - I'll worship Your holy name.


Heavenly Father, help me to use my pain for Your glory.
