Last week my sister-in-law Amanda sent me a book An Uninvited Guest by Jeana Floyd, about the author's journey with cancer. In this book, I discovered that it was 19th century preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon who said, "God is too good to be unkind, too wise to be mistaken, when we cannot trace His hand, we can always trust His heart."
Some years ago, I learnt a song containing those words in the chorus and it really struck a chord in my heart. Today my friend Margaret sent me an e-mail with the lyrics of this song to encourage me. The words of the song are not wishful thinking, just being optimistic or thinking positively.
In my experience of my walk with God (and I've gone through good and bad), He has proven Himself trustworthy, faithful, good. I know I can rest securely in His care even if all around me is a raging storm and even if my body fails. I pray the song encourages you too.
Trust His Heart (Sung by Babbie Mason)
All things work for our 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.
Sowhen your pathway grows dim,
And you just don’t see Him,
Remember He’s still on the throne.
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 hands.
So don’t live as those who have no hope -
All our hope is found in Him.
We walk in present knowledge;
But He sees the first and the last.
And like a tapestry,
He’s weaving you and me
To someday be just like Him.
