Indescribable love

Qui t’apporte du secours dans la nuit la plus obscure ?
La Certitude :
Mon Père m’aime d’un indicible amour.
A friend of ours gave me this little card. It says:

Who brings me help in the darkest night?
Certainty:
My Father loves me with an indescribable love.
In the beginning, I couldn’t understand a word. But now, after almost 6 months of learning French, it means something to me. These three lines speak to me; they encourage me not to lose hope.


The Bible talks about the night, the fear, the hopelessness, the grief … it addresses topics like that. Praise God that I can find comfort in his book.
In Lamentations 5: 14 - 16 we can read: The elders are gone from the city gate; the young men have stopped their music. Joy is gone from our hearts; our dancing has turned to mourning. The crown has fallen from our head….

The Bible also talks about that after the night, comes the morning. After mourning, grief and sorrow God turns it into gladness. He will give us comfort and joy, instead of sorrow. (Jeremiah 31:13)
My weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. He turns my wailing into dancing; he removes my sackcloth and clothes me with joy, that my heart may sing his praises and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever.
Psalm 30: 11 - 12

Every visitor gets a copy. Because it blessed me, it shall bless others as well.

We started off with Bluetits, now we attract Parrots as well.
