DEUTERONOMY 31:8 ~ "And the LORD, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed."
"Why are things sometimes not fair?", is one of the biggest questions humans wrestle with every day. I want to believe the world is understanding ... that life is always fair ... that all things make sense. I want to believe that if I am diligent enough, work hard enough, try hard enough — that those I love will be safe from anything disastrous.
But even though the answers do not always come handy to why things happen the way they are — I have my Faith.
A simple kind of faith that somehow, someday, all sufferings will end.
That pain will be forgotten - (Revelation 21:4).
That good will be rewarded - (Galatians 6:9).
That love will endure - (1 Corinthians 13:8).
That light will scatter darkness - (John 8:12).
And that I will come face to face with my Blessed Hope, Christ Jesus my Lord, "... the Author and Finisher of my faith ..." (Hebrews 12:2).

I do not know where tomorrow’s path will take me to - (Jeremiah 11:29).
I do not know what the future holds (Romans 8:28).
But, I do know who holds tomorrow. The Lord Jesus, He holds my future. He is always in control - (Romans 8:38-39)
I am at peace that whatever seasons of life befalls me; I know my FAITH will see me through.

TRUST HIS HEART
By: Babbie Mason
All things work for the good
Though sometimes we can't see how they could
Struggles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth
Our Father knows what's best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim
And you just can't see Him
Remember you're never alone
Chorus:
God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His Heart
He sees the master plan
He holds the future in His hand,
So don't live as those who have no hope
All things work for the good
Though sometimes we can't see how they could
Struggles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth
Our Father knows what's best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim
And you just can't see Him
Remember you're never alone
Chorus:
God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His Heart
He sees the master plan
He holds the future in His hand,
So don't live as those who have no hope
For our hope is found in Him.
We see the present clearly
But He sees the first and last
And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me
To someday be just like Him
(Chorus)
He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you
(Chorus)
When you don't understand
When don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His Heart
We see the present clearly
But He sees the first and last
And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me
To someday be just like Him
(Chorus)
He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you
(Chorus)
When you don't understand
When don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His Heart
