God is Sooo Good!!!

Hymn of Trust
Oliver Wendell Holmes

O Love Divine, that stooped to share
Our sharpest pang, our bitterest tear,
On Thee we cast each earth-born care,
We smile at pain while Thou art near!

Though long the weary way we tread,
And sorrow crown each lingering year,
No path we shun, no darkness dread,
Our hearts still whispering, Thou art near!

When drooping pleasure turns to grief,
And trembling faith is changed to fear,
The murmuring wind, the quivering leaf,
Shall softly tell us, Thou art near!

On Thee we fling our burdening woe,
O Love Divine, forever dear,
Content to suffer while we know,
Living and dying, Thou art near!

There has never a time that I have starved or gone thirsty unless on a hunting trip on the tundra or something. But I am still alive and still am able to breath and to praise God. I am not in prison for believing in a Mighty God. I am not being beaten for loving a Loving God. But time is coming when I might be beaten or imprisoned for believing and trusting in a God who loves everybody. I certainly don't want to be in the wrong. Everybody has a eternity, whether that eternity will be with God or in hell. Eternity is not only for a million years, its forever and forever and forever. That guy in the Bible that was mentioned when Lazereth died and he died. He is still in hell. I do not want to go to heaven just because I don't want to go to hell ( although thats part of the reason) I love God because He sent his son to died on the cross for someone who might have not accepted his gift of salvation. His love is great. IF there is someone who is reading this blog and is not a Christian. Time is running out. Even for Christians Time is running to a end. Jesus is coming back and soon will it happen. The harvest is truly plenteous but the labourers are few.

Nathan thanks for the reminder. We forget how God takes care of us.
