I spent the other night up at my church at the piano and singing. I felt that was the best place for me to be. One of my favorite songs in "His Eye in On the Sparrow" and as I sang the words, I was reminded that the author was feeling many of the same feelings I felt that night.

"Why should I feel discouraged?"
"Why should the shadows come?"
"Why should my heart be lonely and long for heaven and home?"
"Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise, when songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies."

All these things are the things I have been feeling and wondering and heavy with. Not just the lack of a mate, but rather the light to fuel my passions. The feeling of being out of place often overpowers my drive to live in the place where I am. I am often amazed at how awkward a space this is. I am constantly reminded of my place in the ever present pecking order here. I do long to be "home" someplace and I am sure that the only place that will ever be home to me, is heaven.

So the answer I was reminded of?

"My constant Friend is He."
"Let not your heart be troubled"; His tender word I hear. And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubt and fears. Tho' by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see, His Eye is on the Sparrow and I know He watches me.
"I should draw the closer to Him; because from care He sets me free. His Eye is on the Sparrow, and I know He watches me."

What a wonderful reminder of who we are and how He relates to us humanly, even though sometimes we may not think so.
