Wonderful!

Today, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), I'll be discussing something that happened to me, a while ago.

As you're probably aware, every now and then, I wake up with song resonating within me.  It happened to me, when I awoke.

It was the morning after I had found out that my cousin I had hoped to visit in Nova Scotia, had died.

The music/lyrics that I had in my heart and mind, was by Eric Clapton and is entitled, Wonderful Tonight.  Here's a link for you to listen and/or sing along:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIpZjA5gTjY.  The lyrics are below.

Wonderful Tonight

It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.

It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

When I first awoke with this resonating within me, I wondered why this happened.

After all, I normally feel God is speaking to me.  But, at first, I didn't know why.  Especially, since I knew this was a love song.

So, I went onto the internet and located both the link used today, and the lyrics. 

Yes, I listened to the song.  But, I also read the lyrics.

Then, I understood why God had placed it on my heart and mind.

It struck me that God wanted me to know that He loves me.  How?

Through part of the lyrics:

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.

Yes, I know He loves me.  And, I was grateful to read that He sees the love light in my eyes.

Thinking of this, brought to mind John 8:12, "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

Yes, Jesus is the light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Hallelujah!

He showed me that I have the light of life.

Why do I have it?  Because, I belong to Him.

I have gained salvation by trusting in/believing upon our Lord, Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31).

Have you?

If not, you'll spend eternity in Hell, separated from God.  With... NO... chance of escape.

If you have gained salvation, I'll spend eternity with you, in Heaven. 

Hopefully, I'll see you, there!


Until next time...
