{Day 234}

Do you remember having phones with cords?  Yeah, just dated myself there but whatever. 😉  You used to have to actually stand in one place and not do anything while you talked on the phone.  It was a nuisance.  Anyways I’m so thankful that I don’t have to use a phone with a cord to talk to Jesus.  I have a direct line to him that’s for anywhere and anytime.  Think…cell phone but you always get through.  Well the other night I was especially thankful for the fact that Jesus always hears me and responds.  He’s so gentle with me.  Even though I was settled in my heart I was still dealing with some past pain and I asked him to send me a song.  Instantly these words written by Horatio Spafford flowed over my brain: “When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll; whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul.”  And it is well with my soul.  Very well indeed.  In that moment I felt a love that is like no other.  Just knowing that God hears me is incredible, but knowing that he cares is even more overwhelming.  I’m blessed.  Don’t forget today that God hears you and that it matters.  Nothing is to silly to talk to him about.  Nothing at all.  And you won’t even have to deal with coverage issues because you don’t need a phone. 😉

    Reading your post reminded me of St. Faustina, she talked about Jesus in the same way. I think you’d like the book Consoling the Heart of Jesus by Michael E. Gaitley too.

    Thank you for sharing this Elaini. The song It Is Well is very special to me (definitely one of my favorite hymns!) and reading this brought tears to my eyes. He really is something, isn’t He? I am thankful, so thankful (and yet never enough) for the way He looks after me and cares for me. So, thanks for the reminder to be thankful. 🙂 God bless you always.
