By and By

There's this old hymn my mother used to sing..."By and by...when the morning comes...we will understand it better by and by..." But do we ever REALLY understand it? Do we understand the hurt and struggles of yesterday? Do we understand why life is so hard and we cannot get out of the rut and depression that we are in? Do we understand why some people in life get dealt the Ace, King and Queen, while others the Jack? I do not have all the answers to the questions of life, but what I do have is something everyone can have for FREE! A relationship with Jesus Christ. He is my Saviour, Healer, Redeemer, Lover. He lifts me up and gives me strength for the journey to come. So by and by can come and go...and we may never understand it..we may never understand the abuse as a child, the disappointments of relationships, or the misunderstandings from others. But one thing we can STAND ON is the Word of God. I ask you to think about this...who has ever loved you so much that they would send their son...their ONLY son, to die for you? Who loved you so much, that when they saw that there was no hope for you, they came to give you life...life more abundantly. Who loved you...like GOD, our father has loved you? He is everything GOOD! I don't think we can fathom His love for us...it's indescribable, hard to comprehend, the love, forgiveness and grace He has for us!
