The thing I missed most in the hospital was music. Especially the hymns, gospel songs and love songs on my YouTube playlist. There are a few modern praise songs that also touch me deeply, but many of them tend to take “joyful noise” a little too seriously for my old ears.
Before going to sleep some nights, I very softly sang a love song to honor my wife without disturbing my room mate. I couldn’t think about our love for each other without remembering our mutual love for our Lord and His promise of eternal life together with Him some day. God is Love and all true love is a gift from Him.
I want to leave you with one of my favorite love songs written as a worship song.
Coming close together with a feeling that I’ve never known before in my life. God is not ashamed to be my Father or afraid to be my Friend. I don’t have the answers to the easy way He opens every door in my mind. But believing Him is easy when He tells me that it’s never going to end, and loving God is easier than anything I’ll ever do again.
