This morning, for the first time in a couple weeks due to the snow, we had church, and we sang "It is well with my soul." I didn't know the story of the man who wrote it before, but our song leader told it this morning. That man's only son had died, and many things he had invested money in were burnt by the great Chicago fire. So he decided to take a vacation, and when his daughters & wife were on their way, the ship sank & only his wife survived. On the way to meet his wife, he wrote It Is Well With My Soul. If we lost almost everything like he did, is Jesus enough? Could we say it is well with my soul? Hopefully if we're saved, we could. Jesus should be enough for us, number one in our lives.
Think about it,

ReplyDeleteNeat template BTW, you do it?
ReplyDeleteI couldn't have said it better myself. Sometimes, it seems, God has to break us before He can reach us.

ReplyDeleteOh, the story behind this song always makes me want to cry--it's so powerful and beautiful. You're right...we should always be totally abandoned to Jesus so that we can honestly say that he is all we need. =)

I've heard about that story. It does show that even through hard times we can lean on God to get us through it!
