I have been feeling a bit down, or discouraged lately. There are just some things I am working through. Today, it is rainy. Following a week of gorgeous weather. Yet today, I am feeling better than I have. The reason…the smell. Ok maybe not the smell, but I had to mention how wonderful it smells outside today. One of my favorite things in the whole world is the smell of rain after it’s been sunny. Usually it doesn’t happen until it’s been hot, but I guess a week of sunshine will do it too! There is just something about that smell. For years I have loved it. It makes these rainy days so much better, well at least the first one!
No, the real reason I am feeling better is the Lords little reminders that he cares for me. Today it came in the form of a song. It’s by Aaron Shust called, My Savior. I heard it the first time a few years ago, and have loved it since. Ryan on the other hand….
Not the point. The point is this song. It always reminds my heart of the love my Savior has for me. Not just that he died, but that he really cares for the little things that happen in my life. And lately, I need that reminder.
My Savior
I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed, what God has planned
I only know at His right hand
Stands one who is my Savior
I take Him at His word and deed
Christ died to save me; this I read
And in my heart I find a need
Of Him to be my savior
That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior
Chorus (2x's)
My Savior loves, My Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God: He was, my God; He is
My God is always gonna be
Yes, living, dying, let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring;
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Savior
That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior
My Savior loves, My Savior lives
My Savior loves, My Savior lives

Hello my friend,
Thank you for sharing your heart. I love you. I'm sorry for the difficult times lately. My heart resonates with so much of what you shared. And, that song has blessed my soul on multiple occassions. A few years ago, I taught it to our jr high band and I have many fond memories of worship times with that song.
I love you!
