Today was a “FULL” day. Full is the term I use instead of “busy.” Busy implies that it was hectic or frantic. No one likes feeling that way. Even though I was on the go literally all day, my day was filled with good things like gift wrapping, a birthday party, a family dinner, snuggles with sweaty little boys, and nudges from my 160 lb. Winnie the Pooh Pittie who only has eyes for me.
Yet the highlight of my day was a song because it says all that was truly on my heart today. As I pondered my God-History, I realized that His history with me goes back so much farther than my history with Him. Even before I knew Him, He knew me. Even before I acknowledged Him, His hand kept my life. In all the times that I’ve been angry with Him, suspicious of Him, and wallowing in unbelief and doubt, He prevented me from drowning. His love has remained the same and has been the only constant in my otherwise zany life. When my life fell apart and it seemed that my heart was so pulverized that not even He would be able to piece it back together, He healed my heart. He is my source of constant amazement. He truly is my greatest joy.

Even if you don’t listen to the song, take a moment and read the lyrics. If you listen, grab a tissue. It is a beautiful song!
No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus by Steffany Gretzinger
If my heart could tell a story
If my life would sing a song
If I have a testimony
If I have anything at all
No one ever cared for me like Jesus
His faithful hand has held me all this way
And when I’m old and grey
And all my days are numbered on the earth
Let it be known
In You alone
My joy was found
Let my children tell their children
Let this be their memory
That all my treasure was in heaven
And You were everything to me
No one ever cared for me like Jesus
His faithful hand has held me all this way
And when I’m old and grey
And all my days are numbered on the earth
Let it be known
In You alone
My joy was found
Today I’m thankful that the source of joy found me!
