MORE TO FOLLOW . . . grace upon grace . . . .
puricarefiles
At the end of the day, a weary child is cradled comfortably at the lap of his loving father.
The thrills and cares of the day spin off from his mind
as he fights his heavy eyelids. He runs his tender fingers at the face of his
father, gathers himself together and draws his lips closer to his father’s
right ear. 
It is enough that those strong hands embrace his fragile
and weary body. The child believes that his father’s love will find a way to
satisfy tomorrow’s needs. 
“Your Father!” What
a tender, reassuring touch these words give. “Your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these
things.” 
Christ’s goodness pours in upon us as the waves of the
sea. As one wave comes crashing to shore, there is always another wave close
behind.

lyrics
All things work for our good
Though sometimes we don't
See how they could
Struggles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim
And you just don't see Him
Remember you're never alone
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His Heart
And He holds our future in His hand
So don't live as those who have no hope
All our hope is found in Him
But He sees the first and the last
And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me
To someday be just like Him
He alone knows what is best for you
When you don't see His plan
Trust His Heart
There
are times, when things in life doesn't conform to the way we want it, Trusting
His Heart is the only way we can do.

At the end of the day, a weary child is cradled comfortably at the lap of his loving father.
The thrills and cares of the day spin off from his mind
as he fights his heavy eyelids. He runs his tender fingers at the face of his
father, gathers himself together and draws his lips closer to his father’s
right ear.
Then he smiles as he whispers almost inaudibly, his hands
feeling the sturdy arms and shoulders of his father. The father smiles and nods
repeatedly, responding with that usual reassuring voice.
The child’s voice faded into silence as he drifts off to
a peaceful sleep.
He had his fill of today’s delights – but he has his
cares and desires for tomorrow. His sleep is undisturbed as he had confided everything
in his heart to his father. It is enough that his father knows! It is enough
that he is in the arms of his father.
It is enough that those strong hands embrace his fragile
and weary body. The child believes that his father’s love will find a way to
satisfy tomorrow’s needs.
As Father, God is moved by love to provide for all of the
necessities of His children.
At times, fatherly love may find it necessary to withhold
some physical blessings from His children.
But the hand that withholds
is also the hand attached to the heart that loves - and that is all we need to
know.
One of the most beautiful Bible passages is that section
of the Sermon the Mount where Jesus speaks movingly to His disciples about the
tender care of His Father for all His children.
“Take no thought for
your life,” He says,
“what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, nor yet for your body, what ye shall
put on. Is not the life more than meat,
and the body more than raiment? Behold
the fowls of the air; for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into
barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.
Are ye not much better than they? … Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin. And yet I say unto you that even Solomon in
all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the
field, which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much
more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Therefore take not thought, saying, What shall we eat? Or, What shall we
drink? Or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? …Your heavenly Father knoweth that
ye have need of all these things. But
seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things
shall be added unto you.”
“Your Father!” What
a tender, reassuring touch these words give. “Your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these
things.”
Our heavenly Father does know our every want, desires and
needs. He is abundantly able and willing
to provide. “He that spared not His own
Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely
give us all things?” (Romans 8:32).
There is no need in our life, however great or small,
that God does not know and which He will not fill if it were necessary for our
temporal and eternal happiness.
“My
God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ
Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).
How can I be sure that each succeeding day will find a
sufficient measure of His grace and goodness to see me and my loved ones
through?
John speaks of the heavenly glory of Jesus: “Of His fullness have all we received –
and grace for grace.” Literally, “grace
upon grace.”
Christ’s goodness pours in upon us as the waves of the
sea. As one wave comes crashing to shore, there is always another wave close
behind.
As the next waves comes frothing in, there is another
wave closely following, and another … and another.
Christ’s capacity and willingness to provide are like the
unending waves of the sea …unlimited, inexhaustible - and eternal.
A well-to-do man died and left instructions to his wife
to give a sizable portion of his wealth to a poor pastor who had ministered to
the family throughout the years.
The widow thought it would be best to turn the money over
to the pastor in regular installments. So she mailed him a check for P5,000.00
as a start. Inside the envelop she placed a slip of paper upon which was
written: “More to follow.”
Every two weeks, without fail, the elderly pastor would
receive a check with the identical message:
“MORE TO FOLLOW.”
“More
to follow!” That is
Christ’s unbreakable pledge to all that believe in Him.
The blessings that we receive
today are but a pledge for those that we shall receive tomorrow;
And those we receive tomorrow will bear the pledge of
heaven: “MORE TO FOLLOW.”
”…
His compassions fail not. They are new
every morning: great is Thy faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22-23).
10 And
in Him you have been made complete [achieving spiritual stature through
Christ], and He is the head over all rule and authority [of every angelic and
earthly power]. Colossians 2:10 Amplified Bible

lyrics
All things work for our good
Though sometimes we don't
See how they could
Struggles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth
Though sometimes we don't
See how they could
Struggles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth
Our Father knows what's best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim
And you just don't see Him
Remember you're never alone
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim
And you just don't see Him
Remember you're never alone
Chorus:
God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His Heart
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His Heart
He sees the master plan
And He holds our future in His hand
So don't live as those who have no hope
All our hope is found in Him
And He holds our future in His hand
So don't live as those who have no hope
All our hope is found in Him
We see the present clearly
But He sees the first and the last
And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me
To someday be just like Him
But He sees the first and the last
And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me
To someday be just like Him
(Chorus)
He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you
He alone knows what is best for you
(Chorus)
When you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His Heart
Trust His Heart
There
are times, when things in life doesn't conform to the way we want it, Trusting
His Heart is the only way we can do.
Only
God knows what is the best for us...no matter how it hurts, We trust Him and
pray and He gives comfort and satisfaction in our life.
He
knows what He's doing in our lives.
