Don't Wake Him Up

Author: Unknown

A man was giving his testimony at one of those old Salvation Army open air
street meetings.

As he was testifying, a heckler in the crowd yelled, "Why don't you shut up
and sit down? You're just dreaming."

Immediately that heckler felt a tug on his coat. He looked down to see a
little girl, who said. "Sir, may I speak to you? That man who is talking up
there is my daddy. Daddy used to be a drunkard. He used to spend all of the
money he made on whiskey. My mother was very sad and would cry most of the
time. Sometimes when my daddy came home, he would hit my mother. I didn't
have shoes or a nice dress to wear to school. But look at my shoes. And see
this pretty dress? My daddy bought these for me."

But the little girl wasn't through with that heckler yet. "See my mother
over there? She's the one with the bright smile on her face. She's happy
now. She sings even when she's doing the ironing."

Then the little girl said, "Mister, if my daddy is dreaming, please don't
wake him up."

"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their
testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." - Revelation
12:11

"En hulle het hom oorwin deur die bloed van die Lam en deur die woord van
hulle getuienis, en hulle het tot die dood toe hulle lewe nie liefgehad
nie." - Revelation 12:11

Through The Storm

Author: Wendy Greiner


I did not know His love before, the way I know it now.
I could not see my need for Him, my pride would not allow.
I had it all, without a care, the "Self-Sufficient" lie.
My path was smooth, my sea was still, not a cloud was in my sky.

I thought I knew His love for me, I thought I'd seen His grace,
I thought I did not need to grow, I thought I'd found my place.
But then the way grew rough and dark, the storm clouds quickly rolled;
The waves began to rock my ship, my anchor would not hold.

The ship that I had built myself, was made of foolish pride.
It fell apart and left me bare, with nowhere else to hide.
I had no strength or faith to face, the trials that lay ahead,
And so I simply prayed to Him, and bowed my weary head.

His loving arms enveloped me, and then He helped me stand.
He said, "You still must face this storm, but I will hold your hand."
So through the dark and lonely night, He guided me through pain.
I could not see the light of day, or when the storm might wane.

Yet through the aches and endless tears, my faith began to grow.
I could not see it at the time, but my light began to glow.
I saw God's love in brand new light, His grace and mercy, too.
For only when all self was gone, could Jesus' love shine through.

It was not easy in the storm, I sometimes wondered, "Why?"
At times I thought, "I can't go on." I'd hurt, and doubt, and cry.
But Jesus never left my side, He guided me each day.
Through pain and strife, through fire and flood, He helped me all the way.

And now I see as never before, how great His love can be.
How in my weakness He is strong, how Jesus cares for me!
He worked it all out for my good, although the way was rough.
He only sent what I could bear, and then He cried, "Enough!"

He raised His hand and said, "Be still!" He made the storm clouds cease.
He opened up the gates of joy, and flooded me with peace.
I see His face now clearer still, I felt His presence strong.
I found anew His faithfulness, He never did me wrong.

Now I know more storms will come, but only for my good.
For pain and tears have helped me grow, As naught else ever could.
I still have so much more to learn, as Jesus works in me;
If in the storm I'll love Him more, that's where I want to be.
