HE STILL LOVES US

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."

John 3:16, 17
King James Version

One of my favorite hymns is "HE" written by Richard Mullan. I love these words in this heart touching and inspiring hymn. What a healing balm it is to our weary battle scarred heart to know God loves us even when we hurt Him and fail Him.

"He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea. He alone decides who writes a symphony. He lights ev'ry star that makes our darkness bright. He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night. He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer, Saint or sinner call and always find Him there. Though it makes Him sad to see the way we live, He'll always say, "I forgive."

If you are going through a dark valley or crisis, know that God loves you and cares for you and will comfort and encourage you if you only pray and ask Him to help you.

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us and caring about us even when we hurt You or Jesus by our words and actions. I pray for every pastor who is preaching the good news of our risen Saviour. Please encourage them and let them know how much You appreciate their service to You. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
