Looking ahead.............

At the end of a long, hard week, this hymn reminds me of what is really important.

When We See Christ (by Esther Kerr Rusthoi)

Oft times the day seems long, our trials hard to bear,
We're tempted to complain, to murmur and despair;
But Christ will soon appear to catch His Bride away,
All tears forever over in God's eternal day.

It will be worth it all when we see Jesus,
Life's trials will seem so small when we see Christ;
One glimpse of His dear face all sorrow will erase,
So bravely run the race till we see Christ.

Sometimes the sky looks dark with not a ray of light,
We're tossed and driven on , no human help in sight;
But there is one in heav'n who knows our deepest care,
Let Jesus solve your problem - just go to Him in pray'r.

It will be worth it all when we see Jesus,
Life's trials will seem so small when we see Christ;
One glimpse of His dear face all sorrow will erase,
So bravely run the race till we see Christ.

Life's day will soon be o'er, all storms forever past,
We'll cross the great divide, to glory, safe at last;
We'll share the joys of heav'n - a harp, a home, a crown,
The tempter will be banished, we'll lay our burden down.

It will be worth it all when we see Jesus,
Life's trials will seem so small when we see Christ;
One glimpse of His dear face all sorrow will erase,
So bravely run the race till we see Christ.

I think of this song so often and have quoted it as well on my blog in the past. When I just can't understand why my son died, and yet, how his death has touched so many lives, and saved lives, though it pains us so much here, it WILL be worth it all, when we see Jesus. And, just like you now, in this firey trial you are going through, you know of a pain so many ladies go through, and your heart is so reaching, I know you will touch many lives, and someday in heaven together we WILL say, it is worth it all, as we stand before our Savior and see others that have been influenced and saved because of our trials. Thank you for sharing your heart, and this song. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you.
