It is a beautiful Monday morning! The birds have been singing so sweetly to their Creator this morning and letting me listen too. It makes me want to say with the Psalmist -- "Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord." When I awakened this morning, this beautiful song by John S. Brown came to my mind. It is one of my favorite songs, and my testimony this morning.
"I cannot tell thee whence it came, this peace within my breast;
But this I know, there fills my soul a strange and tranquil rest.
Beneath the toil and care of life this hidden stream flows on;
My weary soul no longer thirsts, nor am I sad and lone.
I cannot tell the half of love, unfeigned, supreme, divine,
That caused my darkest, inmost self with beams of hope to shine.
I cannot tell thee why He chose to suffer and to die;
But if I suffer here with Him--I'll reign with Him on high.
There's a deep, settled peace in my soul.
There's a deep, settled peace in my soul.
Tho' the billows of sin near me roll,
He abides; Christ abides."
While my heart rejoices in this sweet, abiding peace; at the same time it is sad as I think of the multitudes who don't experience this blessed peace. Jesus said we are the light of the world. Let us shine brightly as we love and serve Him every hour of every day!
