The
Soul of Man
Every man has a deep heart need
That can’t be filled with doctrine or
creed,
For the soul of man knows nothing more
Than just that he is longing for
A haven that is safe and sure,
A fortress where he feels secure,
An island in this sea of strife,
Away from all the storms of life.
Oh
God of love, who sees us all,
You are so great! We are so small!
Hear man’s universal prayer,
Crying to You in deep despair,
“Save my soul and grant me peace!
Let my restless murmurings cease!
“God
of love, forgive! Forgive!
Teach me how to truly live.
Ask me not my race or creed;
Just take me in my hour of need.
Let me feel You love me, too,
And that I am a part of You.”

Her friend saw a framed picture
of a pretty girl on the dresser. “Who is that?”
he asked.. The woman brightened.
“She’s my daughter, the one beautiful thing in my
life.”
“Would you help her if
she was in trouble, no matter how many mistakes she’d
made? Would you forgive her if she asked you to? Would you
still love her, no matter what?”
“Of course I would!”
the woman exclaimed. “Why
would you even ask a question like that?”
“Because I want you to
understand,” explained her friend, “that God has
a picture of you on His dresser, too.”

I
am devoted to each of My children with unending faithfulness,
as a mother is to her only child. She watches her only child
with great admiration and pride, and finds tremendous joy
as she grows and matures and becomes the fulfillment of her
dreams. As this mother loves her only child, so do I love
each one of My children as an only child, with much love and
devotion and attention.
—Jesus
