A Resting Place

In the dark of the night
   He turned my soul.

 

Where agony had once prevailed
He shed all things
  So that I could depend
     On Nothing ---
           Nothing ---
                           But Him,
     My Rock, My Redeemer,
       The Light of my life.

 

Jesus became the whole focus of my being,
   my survival.
     Jesus became my all.

 

I am filled with joy.
I am filled with peace.
The Lord's light has shed me provision in countless ways
   Beyond my understanding ---
   And always ---
              It is exact ---
                     as only He can be.

 

I bless the Lord,
          My Savior,
                      My Rock;
          On Him alone, my soul rests in safety.

I am so glad I have the Lord Jesus in my life. I get depressed, then I turn to him for answers. He gives them to me in his own way and his own times. What a wonderful resting place is our Savior.

Wow! Wow! Wow! This is beautifully true, and a witness to the fact that HE can't do anything with us, until we get to our lowest point sometimes, and we are stripped bare of all our excuses and defenses.
Beautiful work again, Stephanie. I love it!
Sincerely,
B.J.

Amen. Stephanie this a very beautiful tribute to our Lord and Saviour, who shed his blood for the forgiveness of sin, and even for those who crucified, cause He told His Father; "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." I believe in the Lord Jesus, the only begotten Son of the one, true God, who made all things. With His help, through His Son Jesus, those who pray in the name of Jesus, will be saved from the eternal fire. Thnx Stephanie for these powerful words in honor of our Lord's suffering and ressurection. Today He was crucified and buried, On Easter Sunday, He arose again, to become the light of our lives, and the saviour of our souls. Thnx for sharing Stephanie, I really appreciated this. May the Lord bless you and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & (((HUGS))), Barbie
