Have you ever had a whacked out day?
A day when things seemed to go wrong from beginning to end?
A day when the coffee cup spills…
You receive a message telling you
that you just made a big mistake…
And you can’t even renew your Norton protection on-line
Cause the internet keeps cutting off.
Or you hear from that one person?
A day when up means down
and bad looks good
and never means sometimes
and love seems sadly missing.
These are the days when I cling
I truly cling to the Truth
That God is Love
And His Mercies are forever
That He is Present no matter what we see or can’t see
That He is greater than anyone
or anything
that comes upon us.
That nothing
absolutely nothing can separate us from His Love.
Romans 8:38-39.
As those words wash over my weary heart
and sink deep within my soul
I remember that day
when I walked the long hall
turned right into the tiniest of rooms
and met a large Russian nurse in white.
Into my longing arms she placed a little baby girl
with eyes of brown and dark curly hair.
We were left alone in this room for what seemed like hours.
I marveled that God loved me so much to give me this precious baby girl.
And I began to sing
Very slowly at first
“Jesus loves me, this I know…”
Oh I know it honey. I really know it.
“For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong”
They are weak ….and so am I… Yes, so am I.
But He is strong.”
And while I danced with her in this small windowless room
it was as if a chorus of angels joined with me.
“Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
The Bible tells me so.”
And that truth holds
No matter what kind of day we have.
He was. He is. He always will be
The One Whose loves never fails.
Count on it, my friend,
Count on it.
And let your heart rejoice.
