Because He lives
I cannot remember how many times I have to cry while singing this hymn. Esp the 2nd verse that speaks about holding a new born baby part, and how the future of that child is really unknown, but hope is instilled because He lives.
Having fought the battle against postnatal depression, the diagnosis of ASD in James thrown me back into depression, yes, again. These could well be one of the darkness days of my life (so far). How can I appreciate "Because He lives" when i feel my emotions as thin as a thread waiting to give away? Does mentally knowing God holding the future gives me a hope to live on? Huh, this blog is for me, not James. (trying hard to be irrelevant not to answer the question). BUT, ultimately everything is in God's hand. Sometimes His purpose is still beyond our comprehension. Well, time to read and meditate more.

Hang in there LJmum. God is in total control of your baby's life and future. He has said so in His Word and He has staked His Reputation on it so you can be sure He will embrace your baby and personally take responsibility for your baby's needs. You are doing so well now. Even though you may have doubts assailing you, please remember that you are not alone in this fight. You still have your family and us your buddies. We all love you and LJ very much.
"...(God)works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for your baby...with love and strength for each new day, He will make a way, He will make a way."
Just live on His strength and joy daily. That's all the Lord asks of you.
Dear LJmum,
remember the hymn "It is well, with my soul" and the story behind it.
Draw your strength from the Lord who has never fail you nor anyone else who called upon Him. Be strong for He is Lord over all things. He is Jehovah Jireh who will provide the peace and healing that you need to tide your darkest days.
Indeed His purpose is way beyond our comprehension but take faith that He is in control and that in all things, give thanks to the Lord. Amen.
In Christ,
Thanks pals for your encouragement. With Christ in the vessel we can ride on the storms of life. With your prayers and words of comfort, I am sure that God will carry us through
