I read the following in one of my daily readings,'Irish missionary Amy Carmichael knew what it was to live through life's storms; poverty,illness,chronic pain,persecution. Having weathered so many hardships with God's help,she reflected,''God is God of the waves and the billows,but they are still His when they come over us;again and again we have proved that the overwhelming thing does not overwhelm''.Let me say there is no prosperity gospel in that account, but there is an honest account of the real life that can easily overwhelm us,if we let it.We all have a choice ,we can give up,we can turn away from God.we can give up in despair,we can turn back,or we can turn to God,it is our choice. It is like standing at a cross roads,not knowing what to do?.George Stiffler wrote the following.
'Is your life full of heart-aches and sadness?
Are your dreams all shattered and torn?
There is one who through mercy and suffering
For you every sorrow has borne
Do the threads of your life seem so tangled
That you wish you had never been born?
There is one who is willing to help you
He knows every sorrow you've borne.
He's the healer of broken hearts,He'll mend your shattered dreams,He'll pick up the threads of a broken
life,and weave them together again,To your soul He'll bring peace and joy,a friend in life He'll be The
healer of broken hearts,is Jesus of Galilee'. ( Words Ceorgia Stiffler)
