A Song in my Heart

“And He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many shall see and fear (revere and worship) and put their trust and confident reliance in the Lord” (Psalm 40:3).
He has Parkinson’s disease. He is getting weaker. For a while he was falling, but thanks to new medication and prayer, he can walk again. His voice also gives out when he speaks for any length of time.
But his eyes, you should see his eyes. They radiate Christ. He always has a smile for everyone. His face is radiant and He has great insights into God’s Word.
This week during our care group meeting he shared, with tears of joy, that although the past year has been very hard, the Lord has put a song in His heart - all the time. You can see that in him.
I like to sit beside him during our meeting. You can feel the love of Christ radiate from him. I come away a more resolute follower of Christ after I have been with Art.
Thank You Lord, for people like Art, who reflect You in all they do and say - even in their illness. Thank You for your Holy Spirit who produces joy in our hearts when we allow you to control our lives. Amen.
