Simple Songs!

Sometimes. . .it's just the simple things that touch our lives in the deepest places!

Oh yes, we love great sermons that teach us doctrine, about end times, and the deeper theological themes of the Bible.

We love great orchestras, symphonies, anthems. . . large choirs, great musicals, and voices that seem almost angelic in their perfection and range.

We love our Bible Studies, our books, our notebooks and different color markers, and we are avid note takers and listen carefully to our teachers.

But when it's all said and done, in the moments of our deepest needs and darkest hours, what is it that we need???? We need to know where to run and know beyond the shadow of a doubt that HE will be there to grab us, hold us, protect us, comfort us. . . . no matter what.

And it is all of the above things that bring us full circle to the greatest truth of all. . . that no matter what, we can come to Jesus.

The song playing as you read this post is perhaps one of my all time favorite songs. I remember the first time I heard it --- I was in the car driving, and I was so moved I pulled over onto the side of the road and wept. . . and in that moment, I grabbed all my troubles of the day, and I ran to Jesus! And He was there!

In His Word, He says, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Whatever it is that is causing you the heaviness in your heart at this moment.... won't you run to Jesus??? He's waiting for you. . . I know! But I had to find it out for myself!
