Today I shared how numb I felt in an answer to Paul Wilson post titled: anyone else feel numb. In that post I sent my favorite Psalm, the one that keeps reminding me that Our Father is protecting us at all time when we seek refuge under His wings.
As I was scrolling down the posts I had not read earlier I found the post from Lou. Now mind you that I don't always scroll from top to bottom but back and forth, bottom, then top finishing in just about the middle. Well, my middle today was on Lou's post and the Psalm of Protection reply to Paul N.F. post of May 18. Now I know you all can't see how exciting this is to me and you can't see my tears and the goose bumps on my skin, but I tell you it's all there.
I truly felt defeated when I started the earlier post where I replied to Paul Wilson. Now I am praising My Lord, His goodness and His faithfulness. What a confirmation this is to me, and a comfort. He is coming soon, I asked for a message from Him and He gave it, not coincidence, but true love did He just showed me.
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see."
