What happens when a word spinner runs out of words? Each day I wake with the hope of sharing God’s truth with others and I often find myself at times struggling for the appropriate thing to talk about. This world is filled with a plethora of information – sometimes too much. Why should my words make any difference?
For one thing, I hope that I never lose sight of the fact that I am not crafting the words that appear on this blog. I am merely an instrument. I also hope that what I say is a reflection of what God has done for me in every circumstance of my life. If I become the center of it, the whole purpose has been defeated. There are times, however, when sharing our reality is necessary. Through even our most difficult situations, we can help those going through similar trials. Sharing also allows us to heal.
This morning I woke at 4 AM with a million thoughts running through my head and I decided to roll over and fall back asleep. Now, three hours later, I am wordless. So, I’m going to keep it very simple today.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. (II Corinthians 12:9a)

God is guiding your words, and today, as so often, something in your post will speak directly to me. Today it is the words in the song you shared. On Memorial Day we had the Celebration of Life for my father. Since then we have attended the services for two more very dear friends. And yesterday we lost a very sweet, young man in our family, who had his whole life before him. “IN CHRIST ALONE” my hope is found.

Oh Sheryl I am so sorry for the many losses you’ve endured recently. I guess in Christ alone, we can face all the stinging arrows that land in our hearts. We can endure much, but He endured more than we ever will. He took our sins to the cross and paid the price with His life. Thank you, Jesus, for loving us so much!❤️

Matthew 11:28-30 – Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

I’m not the only one! I write my best stuff at 4:00 in the morning, just to forget the entire thing when I go back to sleep.

Hey, in all my trips to the far side of the world, not since 2013, I would not be surprised that other things are lagging a few time zones behind.
