********************************************************************
To quote part of Natalie Grant's song "Held"
Who told us we’d be rescued?
What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares?
We’re asking why this happens
To us who have died to live?
It’s unfair.
Chorus:
This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we’d be held.
**********************************************************************
Jesus said (in John 16:33)
<<"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." >>
Jesus has overcome the world...so we can take heart!
All is not lost.
There is still hope.
God is great.
Regardless of our circumstances, God is still God and is still on His throne. No matter what we are going through, God does not change.
I was reading Psalms 46-I found it to be quite comforting.
Especially verse 10-which reminds me to 'Be still and know that I am God'
I'm off to practice that instruction.

Thanks for sharing these positive stories.

You are welcome.
ReplyDeleteI realize that the situation is still bleak-and that life in Haiti is hard, but there is good stuff going on. God moves in the midst of our darkest hours and struggles.
God is great. No matter what.
