Dear Missionary Lady,
God bless you, my sisters, as you toil for Him. This week I
simply want to share a song with you that recently ministered to me. It is
"Until Then" by Stuart Hamblen.
1. My heart can sing when I pause to remember/ A heartache
here is but a stepping stone/ Along a trail that's winding always upward,/ This
troubled world is not my final home.
2. The things of earth will dim and lose their value/ If we
recall they're borrowed for a while;/ And things of earth that cause the heart
to tremble,/ Remembered there will only bring a smile.
3. This weary world with all its toil and struggle/ May take
its toll of misery and strife;/ The soul of man is like a waiting falcon;/ When
it's released, it's destined for the skies.
Chorus: But until then my heart will go on singing,/ Until
then with joy I'll carry on,/ Until the day my eyes behold the city,/ Until the
day God calls me home.
This world does indeed have its challenges and heartaches.
What an encouragement it is to know that whatever twists and turns our path on
this earth takes, each twist is inevitably leading us closer to the end of our
earthly journey and closer to heaven.
The best things of this world are pretty insignificant, and
the worst things of this world will become insignificant some day. They are so
hard now, but when we are in heaven, they will be absolutely nothing -
swallowed up and completely absorbed in the joy of heaven.
Yes, this life can be hard, but it is only temporary. We are
pilgrims and strangers, just waiting for the day when God will call us to our
real home. Can we keep going until then? Yes, by His grace we can continue one
day at a time, doing His bidding and looking for His appearance.
What you do today matters for eternity. Keep doing it until
He is finished with you!
Love in Christ,
