Led by Mercy

“They shall feed along the road, and their pastures shall be on all desolate heights.

They shall neither hunger nor thirst, neither heat nor sun shall strike them;

For He who has mercy on them will lead them,

Even by the springs of water He will guide them…” ~Isaiah 49:9b-10

If You Could See the Sound

168

If you could see the sound of water

How it roars and moves

And with each glance, a heavy load

Of care would pass right through

If you could see the power there

And know the One who gave it sound

The doors would open, love would flood

And carry onward bound

Miles Away

If you’ve never heard Marc Cohn, check him out.  Soul, piano, heart, honesty, journey.

“I know there’s always something we have to go through
That has some deeper meaning but
Right now I just can’t say
I know there’s gonna be a lesson somewhere
I’m gonna think a lot about it later
But right now I’m miles away…”  Miles Away,  Marc Cohn

Just my two cents….being a Christian doesn’t mean things are going to be easy.  It doesn’t mean you won’t get discouraged.  It doesn’t mean that sometimes you just don’t want to deal with things.  It does mean that God will pull you through it somehow.
“In this world you will have trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world.”~John 16:33
