Dear Young Christian:
This morning I woke up in Fenton, Missouri, and looked out the window on a grey, dull, rainy day. However, feeling a little blue and down-hearted, my attention was soon drawn to a robin on the front lawn of the home I was staying in. There he was, head held high and singing his heart out. It made me think of the verse, “The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come” (Song of Solomon 2:12). But more than this, it was a rebuke from the Lord and caused me to jot down the following lines:
I will sing in spite of rain,
In spite of life’s grey mists,
In spite of all the problems that appear upon my list.
For Jesus is my sunshine,
And naught my joy can dim,
When Jesus fills my vision and my delight’s in Him.
Remember, not every day is bright and sunny and not every day is easy. But it is all ordered from the good hand of our God who certainly knows what is best for us.
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
