This weekend was one of many escaping tears. Sometimes it truly becomes impossible to hold them back. From hearing a particularly convicting devotional at a ladies' event at my church, to realizing that I've been incredibly foolish in imagining the possibility of someone, to reading a blog article that addressed perfectly a constant struggle ... all conspire to wring tears from these tired eyes of mine.
But one hymn has been encouraging me through these past few days:
In heavenly love abiding,
No change my heart shall fear;
And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here.
The storm may roar around me,
My heart may low be laid;
But God is round about me,
And can I be dismayed?
Wherever He may guide me,
No want shall turn me back;
My Shepherd is beside me
And nothing can I lack.
His wisdom ever waketh,
His sight is never dim;
He knows the way He taketh,
And I will walk with Him.
Green pastures are before me,
Which yet I have not seen;
Bright skies will soon be o'er me,
Where the dark clouds have been.
My hope I cannot measure,
My path to life is free;
My Saviour has my treasure,
And He will walk with me.
(Anna L. Waring)
Keep going on that path the Lord has set forth for you, my dear one, long and lonely though it may be. Someday you'll perhaps find yourself walking beside me on this journey heavenward.
