i found out some hard news about one of my nieces, but am still believing for a positive outcome. it's really distressing to know that someone you love so much is having to go through something that has the potential for a horrible outcome, and not get bogged down with questioning why...or with getting angry. it seems even more difficult when that someone is a small, innocent, sweet little girl.
that being said, i have spent a lot of time on my face today, and this song has been on repeat pretty much through the afternoon and evening.
i have been deeply touched by these words today..sometimes it's really good to have that reminder. He LOVES us. even through the muck and the crap. even when we get mad at Him. He love us. Oh how He loves us.
i'm also including another link that is really worth watching as it shows what j.m.m. was really going through, and going for when he wrote the song.
this is what makes me smile:
the remains of an old tree, long ago cut down, covered with a lake, and forgotten about..but still hanging around.
and:
knowing that when the lake dries up, the water still flows.
