I love reading Ruth Bell Graham's books. She was such a strong and godly woman, and as we think of the destruction in Japan, and the unrest around the World, we often want to ask "WHY?"
I love Ruth's answer to this question:
"I lay my "whys" before your cross in worship kneeling,
My mind too numb for thought, my heart beyond feeling;
And worshiping, realize that I in knowing you, Don't need a "why."
This Song also gives a message ~
I've tasted all the things
That come against you, my child;
They fell to the ground beneath
Golgotha's tree.
My name is Faithful
And oh, the love that I have for you,
My child.
Can you hear me?
Will you answer?
Can you hear me?
Will you Follow, Follow Me?
(A Message from a King - Harlan Rogers 1986)
Dear Lord ~ You have heard our whys? Help our faith to just KNOW YOU, and leave it in your hands. Father we lift our prayers together for all the hurting and missing people in Japan, and around the world. We hear you, we answer you, we will Follow. We love you. Amen.
