When it thunders...

These are the reflections of a child of our Papa in Heaven. As I walked to my room today after session and dinner, I felt a heaviness and darkness closing in upon my heart. So when I got to my room, instead of trying to get work done while walking in a cloud, I turned of the lights and lay on my bed, pouring out my heart to God. As I lay there for about half an hour, my heart began to calm down and though I did not hear his voice, I heard his silence. After a while I turned on some music by Jason Upton and continued praying to my loving Father. As I continued lying there, I began to reflect on a song called "When it thunders" and these are my thoughts.

The words of the chorus go like this:

Daddy, don't sleep,
Daddy, don't slumber,
I don't wonder when it thunders
Because I am safe in Daddy's arms.

I once heard the reasons why he wrote this song, but here are what these words mean to me tonight.

Our Daddy does neither sleep, nor slumber, there is no time, when he does not watch over me. And though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for I am safe in Daddy's arms. As the darkness closes in around me and fog and clouds surround my heart, his loving arms are still wrapped around me. Nothing can rob me from the palm of my Papa. SO while I listening to the silence and peace that began impressing itself on my heart, I decided to share this with you.

while I am reading these words, I listen to another song, one by Matt Redman, called the "Father's song", let the lyrics of this most beautiful song bless your heart as they bless mine in this very moment.

I have heard so many songs
Listened to a thousand tongues
But there is one that sounds above them all
the Father's song, the Father's love
You sung it over me
And for eternity it's written on my heart.

Heaven's perfect melody
The Creator's symphony
You are singing over me
The Father's song
Heaven's perfect mystery
The King of Love has sent for me
And now you are singing over me
The Father's song.

Though today I only heard silence, but I know that he is singing this song over me and if I am really quiet I can hear it.

May my Papa bless those I love, all you of Ignatius.
