“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.”
—1 John 1:1-3
Drinking coffee and listening to Laura Hackett, I came across an old favorite song I hadn’t heard in awhile. Here are some of the lyrics; maybe they’ll speak to you like they spoke to me: “When I am afraid I will trust in You; when I’m overcome I will cling onto the Rock that is higher / When my enemy’s surrounding me, he comes to steal my joy, my peace, I will let go of my reasoning and fall upon the Rock that is higher / There is no peace of mind outside of truth in Christ, for the fear is real and it’s power can kill; but the stability of our times will be the Rock that is higher.” (Laura Hackett, When I Am Afraid) Blessings to you today!
