The TRUTH

So many things in our life are constantly changing. So many things that we don't have control of, they just happen. So many things seem like a boat sailing on the water you can be in perfect stillness or moving quickly amongst the waves and enjoying it. Then there are the storms, and you don't know how damaging they are going to be until they are over. Sometimes the damage from the storm is very light, and you learn what to do the next time that kind of storm hits. Other times the winds are so powerful and the waves so high that they just come crashing down upon you and you can only lay flat down on your face and ride it out and wait for the winds to subside, the rains to stop, and the sun to shine again.

One constant thing I am reminded of today, is the consistency of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Through the dark, through the storm, He is always there holding on. The following song God brought to my mind today and I was refreshed by it. May you also be.

In the midst of the storms we must hold on to the one TRUTH that never changes.
" How deep the Father;s love for us,
How vast beyond all measure,
That He should give His only Son,
To make a wretch His treasure.
How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away,
As wounds which mar the Chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory.
Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
Call out among the scoffers.
It was my sin that held Him there.
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished.
I will not boast in anyting
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom."
