Why does the child of God sometimes suffer so much? Whilst in prayer for such dear ones, I
spontaneously started to sing, ‘O for a thousand tongues to sing my Great
Redeemers Praise! ‘The glories of my God
and King, the triumphs of His Grace.’
Finding the hymn book, verse two struck me. JESUS! The name that charms our fears, that
bids our sorrows cease. Tis' music in
the sinners ears, tis' life, and health, and peace. I was broken before such a SAVIOUR! He loves and cares for us. Yet He allows such times for our unsaved
loved ones to see that relationship demonstrated when suffering calls.
JESUS! The name that
charms our fears. His wonderful Grace
and Peace carries us when we feel incapable of lifting a foot, crying another
tear or seeing how we will cope with the circumstances we find ourselves
in. It is His strength within us that
girds up our wounded and grieving hearts.
Psalm 18 : 28 Amplified Bible states, ‘For You cause my lamp to be
lighted and to shine; The Lord my God illuminates my darkness,’ verse 27 ‘For
You deliver an afflicted and humble people.’
Our loved ones see what often we fail to realise, that the
life and light of JESUS shines in us brightly during our season of
darkness. By faith we cling to Him, knowing
He will be with us and He will bid our sorrows cease. For though afflicted we are not crushed. And this is the truth, JESUS is the music to
the sinners ears, tis' life and health and peace. This, our testimony, leads our loved ones to
see our Great Redeemer, God and King!’
