Missionary life can be very wearisome. Every day is steeped in dying to self. Visiting the P's reminds me of how important it is for us to remember our missionary families in prayer constantly. You wouldn't imagine how difficult simple tasks such as mopping the floors or going out for a walk in the neighborhood are. However, there is such joy in serving Christ and selflessly loving others.Sovereign Grace Ministries has just released an excellent CD called Come Weary Saints. This songs speaks of the refuge Christ is to those who are weary and of the unspeakable joy that awaits the faithful. I pray that you will pray for a missionary today and think of a tangible way to encourage them...an email, a care package, etc. What we may think of as "nothing" can go a long way to encourage a weary soul!
"Hide Away in the Love of Jesus"
Come, weary saints, though tired and weak
Hide away in the love of Jesus
Your strength will return by His quiet streams
Hide away in the love of Jesus
Come, wandering souls, and find your home
Hide away in the love of Jesus
He offers the rest that you yearn to know
Hide away in the love of Jesus
Hear Him calling your name
See the depths of His love
In the wounds of His grace
Hide away
Come, guilty ones weighed down with sin
Hide away in the love of Jesus
The freedom you long for is found in Him
Hide away in the love of Jesus
Come, hopeless hearts, do not despair
Hide away in the love of Jesus
For ten thousand joys await you there
Hide away in the love of Jesus
