Comfort in a Cloud

"Mary," said I, "you must have very dark days; they must be overcome with clouds sometimes." "Yes," said the dear old saint, "but then I often find there's comfort in a cloud." "Comfort in a cloud, Mary?" "Yes. When I am very low and dark I go to the window, and if I see a heavy cloud I think of those precious words, 'A cloud received Him out of their sight' (Acts 1:9), and I look up and see the cloud sure enough, and then I think: 'Well, that may be the cloud behind which my Saviour is found,' so you see there is comfort in a cloud."

Hey, sir, juz thought of wat u said today, tat we're never alone...a song juz popped unto my mind :)

As I've looked back to this road I've travelled
I've seen so many times
He's carried me through
And if there's one thing
I've learned in my life
My Redeemer is faithful and true

My Redeemer is faithful and true
Everything He has said, he will do
And every morning His mercies are new
My Redeemer is faithful and true

My heart rejoices when I read the promise
There is a place I'm preparing for you
I know some day
I'll see my Lord face to face
Cause my Redeemer is faithful and true

And in every situation
He has proved His love to me
When I lack the understanding
He gives more grace to me

My Redeemer is faithful and true

p.s.I'm inviting yien hsiu to my youth holiday program, help me pray tat she'll be able to make it :) Really want her to come to know Jesus as well..
