Thus saith the Lord that created thee
…..thou art mine
Isaiah 43:1
My heart was so heavy one afternoon.
I was overwhelmed by numerous burdens weighing down my heart.
I was also grieving. My friend’s nineteen-year-old son had been killed in a motorcycle accident.
I especially struggled to reconcile this pain.
What purpose could there be to take that beautiful child?
Was God just done with him?
I was confused. I was questioning God. I just didn’t understand.
In His mercy, God lovingly quieted my questioning. He reminded me that those thoughts would lead me in the wrong direction.
I changed my thoughts.
How could I get victory over this despair?
“If God were sitting next to me
right now, what would I need Him to
say to me so that I could be OK?”
God sweetly answered.
He led me to write a song about as many areas that I could think of where I might need comfort, followed by what He would say to me to ease my distress. This song has brought me much comfort.
I pray it will help restore your peace as well.
You are Mine
by Jennifer Skaw
When things are dark, I’m still working
When you feel alone, I’m still there
I hold you every moment
Everything will be all right
When you’re lost, I have the answer
When you’re in pain, I send My grace
When you grieve, I share your sorrow
When you are weak, I am your strength
Your sin can not surprise Me
I have forgiven it all
I make beauty of the ashes
Let go of shame. You are redeemed.
Forever, I will tenderly love you
I’ll give you rest, I’ll be your Friend
My child, My child, trust Me
I am yours and you are Mine
My child, My child, trust Me
I am yours and you are Mine
I am yours and you are Mine
