Out in the highways and byways of life

Out in the highways and byways of life, Many are weary and sad; Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife, Making the sorrowing glad. |
| Make me a blessing, make me a blessing, Out of my life may Jesus shine; Make me a blessing, O Savior, I pray, Make me a blessing to someone today. |

Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love, Tell of His pow’r to forgive; Others will trust Him if only you prove True, every moment you live. |

Give as ’twas given to you in your need, Love as the Master loved you; Be to the helpless a helper indeed, Unto your mission be true. |

Sitting on my deck this morning having my Bible reading and quiet time with God. After reading James 4-5 this song was brought to my mind. Couldn't remember the verses, just the chorus, but after looking it up the tune was right there. Praising God and praying this prayer! ❤️

For some reason, out of the blue, I was thinking about this song, but it was only the chorus of the song that I remembered. I looked up this song, found this website, and played the song through, and all of a sudden I just could not stop crying. This song hit me like a ton of bricks.
It brought me back to my childhood, when we would sing this in my church. Growing up in Massachusetts, this song was one of the songs in the Salvation Army hymnal that I grew up with. It also brings back memories of when my best friend Patty-jo and I would sit together and sing this song along with everyone at church. My friend Patty-jo passed away a few years ago, from a stage 4 breast cancer recurrence. She was an amazing person, and did her best to live her life in a Christ-like manner. I miss her so very much, but I know that I will get to see her again one day.

I was just sitting here in living room and, this Hymn came up in my spirit. I started singing but could not remember all the words so I looked it up. I got emotional bc I remember my grandmother taking us to Church in Guyana. Holy Spirit is ministering to His people. I am grateful as I read comments from others we are not alone. Thank you for this opportunity. God did not forget us He is ready to show Himself mighty and strong. He is God.

I was praying this morning, asking God to make me a blessing to someone today. I remembered this song from my younger days growing up in pastor’s home and as a pastor’s wife. What a blessing to find lyrics lyrics and the tune. I’ll be humming it all day.

This morning during my prayers the Lord brought this song to mind and was blessed to find this. I have sung this song more than 30 years ago in India. I pray as per the verses the Lord will make me a blessing to someone today.

In my devotional time the last couple of days the words of the chorus of this song have come to my mind. We are having lots of fires and smoke in the western part of the United States right now. Though it is a little scary I know I can depend upon my Lord and I want him to make me a blessing to someone today.
