Soul Soothing

The last 10 or so days have been pretty busy. We had a volunteer team and since they were here on a Sunday we met with them and had a little house church. It was so sweet to experience the Body in my heart language...fellowship...truth...worship. I miss those things terribly!

God spoke to my heart as we sang the familiar "In Christ Alone"...He is my light, my strength, my song...Firm through the fiercest drought and storm...For I am His and He is mine...No guilt in life, no fear in death...

I could have typed the entire song, but I just linked it:

I all too often forget the simple truths of my salvation. I strive and strive and when that doesn't work I just give up...leaving me exhausted or guilty. Neither are states in which we were created to live. My soul is soothed at the reminder that I was created to live in Christ alone...
