Why
should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come, why should my heart be
lonely and long for Heaven and home, when Jesus is my portion? My constant
Friend is He: His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me...
"Let
not your heart be troubled," His tender word I hear, and resting on His
goodness, I lose my doubts and fears; though by the path He leadeth but one
step I may see: His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me...
I
know God is with me, I know he walks with me, I feel his presence on the
inside. I know when I am down and out, he reaches his hands out to me. I know
he watches over me for many times I would have been gone, but he allows me to
live and to serve. I know everyday I get up he is there. In my short comings,
he is there.
God's
care for us is immeasurable -- He allowed His only begotten Son to die in our
stead. When we consider the "riches of His goodness, forbearance, and
longsuffering" this ought to soften our heart, "knowing that the goodness
of God leads you to repentance."
God's
care for us will sustain us throughout life, for "we know that all things
work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called
according to His purpose."
