**UPDATE: December 12, 2011 - I have an updated post about this song here: http://www.johnmassie.com/2011/12/12/child/"
I guess I will update this; since this is the just about the only form of communication with me right now (unless you call my cell phone). Life is going great! I don't worry about much anymore, I've adopted a few new ways of life, so to speak.
1. Stop rushing. Not that I will be late or anything, just not to rush to do things. Like someone said to me before, Jesus was never in a hurry, why should we be?
2. Stop worrying. Recently I have been having some things really bother me. I was praying and had stopped to just listen to the stillness, and this came to my mind:
Why do you worry, look at the birds of the field, they do not worry about...
I won't quote the entire thing, but if you know the verse, then you will get what I am meaning. So that is what I am adopting into my life.
I have a song tonight, that I want to quote, especially for my friend Tiffani. So if you are reading this, please read the song below.
Well Done My Child
Three for One
There may be a lonely valley, waiting just around the bend.
Many trials will come, before I reach my journey's end.
But through them I'll be faithful, as I walk in victory.
Pressing toward to the moment when my father says to me:
Well done my child, your race is over
You have fought the fight, and you've kept the faith
Enter in to the joy of the Lord.
Well done my child, you crown is waiting.
Here is your robe of white, your mansion is just inside.
Come in to the city of the light, well done my child...
When I finally see the streets of Gold and the gates of pearl.
I know that I'll forget my every struggle in this world.
Every pain and heartache will quickly fade away.
In that glorious moment when, I hear my Savior say:
Well done my child, your race is over
You have fought the fight, and you've kept the faith
Enter in to the joy of the Lord.
Well done my child, you crown is waiting.
Here is your robe of white, your mansion is just inside.
Come in to the city of the light, well done my child...
This song has brought my loads of encouragement. Enjoy... I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday, and I will try and write again soon.
Later,
John
