What a blessing to find the long-lost theme song of this blog: God is Love ! Have you heard it? Oh, I had wanted it so badly! In the music you can hear the surging of the ocean waves, while the words are so fitting, I'd like to sing for you:
God is love--and like the tide
Flows his mercy deep and wide;
And His grace tow'rd you and me
Is as boundless as the sea.
On the clouds, so dark above
Shines the rainbow of His love;
Praise His name with heart and voice,
God is love--let earth rejoice.
God is love --I will not fear,
For He says, "Be of good cheer."
He will give me what is best,
So in Him my heart shall rest.
On the clouds so dark above,
Shines the rainbow of His love.
Looking up I see and know
God is love, in weal or woe.
God is love---He giveth peace;
Strife shall end and tumult cease.
God who doeth all things well
Will thy doubts and fears dispel.
On the clouds so dark above,
Shines the rainbow of His love,
He will all His goodness prove,
Hallelujah! God is love.
--Gertrude R. Dugan
Does it speak to you as though written just for you in this tumultous time? Remember to seek for the rainbow of His love in those dark clouds gathering overhead!
LiJin, whose early death capsized the dawning faith of his mother, had an idolatrous funeral. All the family were idol worshipers, and the mother, stunned by the loss of her son a week after he accepted the Lord, refused all calls from believers. The latest news is that when told to consider the hope of her son being in Heaven, Mrs. Wang turned toward the light again, --for neither idol worship nor Buddism hold out such a hope.
We are praying for direction as to where to move next (do we go ahead and buy a larger apartment now, and if so, where?) The nice part of moving so much is it makes it easy to get rid of excess stuff, and who doesn't need to streamline?
