Our Never-failing Friend

The amazing thing is that people are wondering why **** is still so joyful and enjoys so much peace as she does. We know why – God in Christ lives in her heart and His life is overflowing through her.  The circumstances would depress anyone, so the reason for her joy and peace lies elsewhere.  How wonderful it is to face the unknown and uncertain future confident that God has already been there and He will take her by the hand and led her on.

God is good – I never tire of saying this.  He is our never-failing Friend, the One Who promised through His Son that He would “never leave us nor forsake us.” With Him, we can take it one day at a time, and leave everything in His loving hands.  It is truly amazing what He can do in and for those who have surrendered their lives to Him.

Now is not the time to ease up in your prayers.  There is still “more land to be taken,” and by God’s grace we will come through triumphantly.

    So true! A poem of praise I wrote a few years ago:

    When the wilderness prevails
    And discouragement unveils
    The sadness of my heart,
    Moans and echoes all apart,
    To God my soul does flee
    Who sets my spirit free!

    Like the singing from a cage
    Is my mournful, doting page
    When I ponder on about
    My soul's long dreary drought
    Until my prayer upward soars--
    "Father!" soon my heart adores.

    And in His pure, majestic love
    He alights from high above
    Overflowing with His grace,
    Landing full upon my place
    To fill my heart with peace,
    Joyful gladness my release!

    My loneliness cannot abide
    With God my Savior on my side.
    The devil's darts may pierce my mind
    But Christ the Healer walks behind,
    Binding wounds of tearful hurt
    And giving me faith to stay alert.

    Completing soon His tasks in me,
    He kneels and gives His promise key
    To unlock the cages of my life
    That chain me in their sin and strife.
    When I can't feel or comprehend,
    He's still there, my God and Friend.

    Thank you, Sean, for commenting on my post. Your beautiful and Bible-based poem squares well with my piece. May our blessed Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, bless you as you serve Him.
