Chances Are...

Every now and then, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), I discuss how music resonates within me, from time to time.

Almost none of you are aware of the physical health problem I am going through, now.  Even though I have not asked many to pray for me, I have prayed, asking God to heal me.

Through this upsetting situation, I have asked God to take me home, to be with Him, rather than leave me here on earth.  But, He hasn't.

So, God obviously wants me to be here.

While I won't discuss the medical issue I am experiencing, I will let you know that God has made it clear to me how much He loves me.

After praying greatly one evening, I awoke the next day with music resonating within me.

The song is by Johnny Mathis.  It is entitled, Chances Are.  Here is a link for you to listen to it and/or sing along:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LkyuuWnmag.  The lyrics are below.

Chances Are

Chances are, 'cause I wear that silly grin
the moment you come into view;
chances are you think that I'm in love with you.

Just because my composure sort-of slips
the moment that your lips meet mine,
chances are you think my heart's your Valentine.

In the magic of moonlight,
when I sigh "hold me close, dear"
chances are you believe
the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes.

Guess you feel you'll always be
the one and only one for me
and if you think you could,
well, chances are your chances are awfully good!

Chances are you believe
the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes.

Guess you feel you'll always be
the one and only one for me
and if you think you could,
well, chances are your chances are awfully good!

The chances are your chances are awfully good!

As I'm sure you are aware, the lyrics of this song cannot relate 100% to me, regarding what I had prayed to God about.

But, I do believe this music/lyrics were on my heart and mind, resonating within me as a response from God.

I do believe this was His way of answering my prayer, to let me know that He was truly loving me.

You see, with feeling so emotionally upset, and not wanting to suffer any longer here on earth, I had prayed, asking God to let me know that He still loved me.

In my heart, I knew He did love me.  Even though I had prayed that way.

But still, He answered my prayer, and let me know once again, of His love for me.  Thank you, Lord!

Thinking about His love, brought to mind John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Yes, He loved the world so very much, that He sent His only begotten Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ to earth.  Jesus suffered and paid the price for our sin, so that whoever believeth in Him should not perish, but would receive everlasting life.

When I awoke that morning, I knew it was His will for me to not be home with Him in Heaven, but rather, that I should be here on earth.

Knowing this, I realize that He still wants me to do work for Him. 

So, I will.

For I want to be obedient unto Him. 

Always.


Until next time...
