There are Times

1
There are times in my life
When my heart is embittered.
There are questions unanswered,
Yet, You're drawing me
  To enter
Into Your blessed sanctuary
And turning my eyes heavenward,
The questions of constant inquiry
Are changed to these words,
2
Whom do I have in heaven
But You, dear Jehovah.
My flesh and my heart
Constantly fail,
  But God's still
The strength of my heart and my portion;
To Him forever I'll draw near.
I've made Jehovah my sweet refuge.
So now throughout the years
3
Turn my view to see You,
How I need to see Jesus!!
Though I don't understand
The ways that You take;
  Lord, make me
A babe and suckling always praising.
Enjoying Your worth day by day.
Let each experience constitute me
So Your life I'll display
In every way.

I was upset with the saints the other day and I left the meeting with tears streaming down my face. A brother, who saw what happened, chased after me all the way to bus stop and was literally trying all sorts of tricks to pacify me. It was hilarious - I would never imagine a brother trying to mollify another brother - it reminds me of a boyfriend trying to placate his girlfriend after upsetting her.

Even though we never ended up have a heart to heart talk (I jumped onto a bus despite his efforts), I really appreciate his sincerity and his apologetic way of finding out the reasons I got upset...

I just want to seek You each day, Lord. I was touched with the verse "let each experience constitute me so that I may display You in every way". At times, I just cry to the Lord in prayer. Our experience makes us love the Lord even more each day.

Thank You Lord for everything, we will never retire from saying "Lord we just love You."

I really enjoy the message of the song, especially the words "Lord, make me a babe and suckling always praising, enjoying Your worth day by day let each experience constitute me so Your life I'll display in every way!"

Oh, Lord Jesus make me a babe and suckling always praising so I can display Your life in every way!!

No matter what happens, God is still

The strength of my heart and my portion;

To Him forever I'll draw near.

I've made Jehovah my sweet refuge.

So now throughout the years...

Oh Lord Jesus!!

Who do we really have but Jesus?

God is love and we are made in His image, so what every human being wants and needs is love. What every human being is scared of is a love that ends, is a love that is conditional. What I still find hard to get my head around (because it's so hard to understand from a human perspective) is that Jesus loves us, so much, and He will never stop loving us for all eternity no matter what we do. This love is amazing and when the world tries to hurt us we can hide in this love, because with this love what need do we have of the things in the world? How can the world satisfy us when we have the love of God, His grace, His peace?

Truly there is no substitute. :)

Even if it is my first time to hear this song, the message speaks it all and you will really like it. This really speaks our experience. "Though I don't understands the ways that You take. Lord, make me a babe and suckling, always praising. Enjoying Your worth day by day.Let each experience constitute me. So Your life I'll display in every way."
