Guys, I'm sitting here nearly, with tears streaming down my cheaks.

I just heard, on the Bible Broadcasting Network, better known as the BBN,
the most uplifting hymn.  It has healed a very week part of my heart.  The
pain that I was able to release through this hymn was massive!  I completely
let go.  I haven't broken down yet, there are still tons upon tons of
emotional scars that need to be healed.  I don't think I'm quite yet to the
breaking down state of mind, but, I know that point is very soon coming,
possibly, even later today.  Maybe, not sure.  It'll happen in God's timing.
That used to be such a downer to me, O child, child a God, it'll happen in
God's time, he don't care how you feel, it'll only happen when and if it
wants it to.  That! is not! true!  I'm beginning to see how beautiful that
statement of waiting on God it really is.  Folks, let's face it:  without
God, and without the blood, we are worthless; we're nothings; we wouldn't
even be here today meading mails off this list.  So many people, I think
take totally for granted how beautiful, and how precious life really is.
When my friend was diagnosed with Anorexia, my whole life turned around.  I
began realizing, from how close she got at one point, that life is not a
joke.  It's an open, but wide freeway, if you will.  What I mean by a wide,
open freeway, is that there are many lanes and paths you can take down the
worldly path.  That's the glorious thing though about this journey.  God has
set us aside from the world.  We are not of this world, as as neither was
Christ.  If we follow him, and obey God's commandments, and hide them in our
hearts, and believe that Christ is son of God, and died to pay our price,
that's it.  Anyway, I would like to share the words to this hymn with you
all.  May it minister to you, as it has me, forever? and ever, amen.




Near to the Heart of God


1. There is a place of quiet rest,
 near to the heart of God;
 a place where sin cannot molest,
 near to the heart of God.
Refrain:
 O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
 sent from the heart of God,
 hold us who wait before thee
 near to the heart of God.

2. There is a place of comfort sweet,
 near to the heart of God;
 a place where we our Savior meet,
 near to the heart of God.
 (Refrain)

3. There is place a place of full release,
 near to the heart of God;
 a place where all is joy and peace,
 near to the heart of God.
 (Refrain)

Thank you, God loves you all, and so do I.  God bless.


Chris.
