All thy griefs by Him are ordered

All thy griefs by Him are ordered, Needful is each one for thee; All thy tears by Him are counted, One too much there cannot be; And if while they fall so quickly Thou canst own His way is right, Then each bitter tear of anguish Precious is in Jesus’ sight. |

Far too well thy Savior loves thee To allow thy life to be One long, calm, unbroken summer— One unruffled, stormless sea; He would have thee fondly nestling Closer to His loving breast, He would have that day seem brighter When alone is perfect rest. |

To my dear sister in Albania, "Far too well they Savior loves thee......" And know that a sister across the ocean is praying for you this morning. May you be comforted. With love.

My husband of 21 years died suddenly, and I cry with pains everyday. Trusting that this is all ordered by Him for my good, and my tears are counted.

Thank You Lord that behind all the storms in our lives, You are loving us so dearly. That amidst our tempestuous environments, we can rest in You and be in an organic union with You.

My God understands of my recent grief—my wife of 39 years has been suffering with paranoia, delusion and hallucination.
Far too well thy Savior loves thee
To allow thy life to be
One long, calm, unbroken summer—
One unruffled, stormless sea;
He would have thee fondly nestling
Closer to His loving breast,
He would have that day seem brighter
When alone is perfect rest.

All thy griefs by Him are ordered,
Needful is each one for thee;
All thy tears by Him are counted,
One too much there cannot be;
And if while they fall so quickly
Thou canst own His way is right,
Then each bitter tear of anguish
Precious is in Jesus' sight.
Hallelujah!
Christ gives me strenght whenever I am weak. Christ is Victor.
