Here is a little hymn I wrote last night while thinking about God's love.

You illuminate my eyes, bring light
The way you love me
Is like a blind man given sight
When you came into my life, I was so very thirsty
You refreshed my soul with waters of sweet mercy
I drank in your words and cooled in your shade
How tender your voice, as you bade me not to be afraid
In your care I have remained, for good to me you have stayed
Why flee to other lands afar
When true to your word you are
So faithful, oh so true
Just as the sky each day is blue
The sun, it rises, and it sets
Why should my soul e'er fret
You are my love, in you I'll be
Until my last breath then sets me free
To at last, lay eyes on your face
O please anchor me in your grace.

Simple, but words from my heart for a savior I know I still require daily to bring me peace, hope, love and salvation from myself and the darkness this world holds. I am thankful for God's simplicity and ever present help in times of trouble. I believe God is with me always and never leaves me. I am never alone. His care is for all of his people, he loves us all. 
Today I got on a little tangent to watch a few different videos from YOUTUBE. These were what I chose: erasing hell by francis chan; Akiane child prodigy, an artist who hears from God and gets visions from him and help with what to paint and write; Brian Welch from Korn speaking on his testimony; the boy who died from a burst appendix and saw heaven then came back; the man who almost died in a plane crash and came back. I was just interested in seeing what they said. I am doing some research on the afterlife, on eternity or if it exists or not. I believe it does. Everything I see and have come to trust in points to yes. God wants us to know what we believe deeply but also to trust deeply. I attempt to do both. To not blindly believe, but to ask God's opinion and to seek truth. I am a truth seeker and love justice, long to be like Jesus in kindness, peace, and love.
Lead me into all truth Lord.
