I don’t often find myself at a loss for words, but words fail to express the depth of gratitude I have for the healing God has wrought in my personal experience through the poems recorded in this book. My hope and prayer is simply that these words would find a resounding chord in the hearts of readers, that we may be reminded that “no temptation has overtaken [us] except such as is common to man” (I Cor. 10:13), and that you may likewise begin to see a clearer and more beautiful picture of our heavenly Father’s face, and experience the deep rest of soul that He desires for you.
I turn to the inspired words of the psalmist David to express my thankfulness
“I love the LORD, because He hath heard my voice and my supplications.
Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live.
(…) Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and He helped me.
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
(…) What shall I render unto the LORD for all His benefits toward me?”
Psalm 116:1-12
