Lord, I don't feel like dancing.

I received news of a friend whose wife died.  My heart has broken in a million pieces.  My voice cries out to our Savior for Him to, well save my friend. This is a man of faith who has been my encourager.  He is a hero among Christians having been persecuted for his faith in Jesus.  I love him dearly.  My daughter encouraged me by saying, "He has scars on his body because of his faithfulness.  He now will have scars on his heart and it will be because of his faithfulness."  So, friend if you are reading this know that you are not alone in your struggle.  Your beautiful wife is alive.  She dances with Jesus.  She may have a longing in her heart to have her best friend, but she too will work in Heaven to bring strength and encouragement to you.  You do not have to be strong, for Jesus will be that for you.  You just have to be faithful and real.  In the darkest time, your greatest moments of faith will be these words:  "Jesus, help me in my unbelief."  He counts those words the greatest victory in His children.


Alive

By Julie-Meyer Weber 

River, when your water ceases to flow to the sea,

I will still be alive!

Mountains, when you have crumbled to dust,

I will still be alive!

Sun, when you have grown cold and dark,

I will still be alive!

Stars, when you have all fallen to the earth,

I will still be alive!

Moon, when you have lost your pull,

I will still be alive!

Long after this earth has gone,

I will still be alive,

Dancing, singing, serving and praising the Lamb.

The Lamb

Who gives me hope

Who conquered death

Who makes me ALIVE!
