Just wanted to share this beautiful expression of hope from Salem. It makes me think of 1 Peter 3:15, “always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you.” May you be comforted as well.
He Has Given Us Eternity
What is life without love’s desire?
A smoldering, dying fire.
A faded shadow of one’s self.
Dreams left collecting dust on the shelf.
He has given us eternity.
To wake another morning,
Looking to see the sun rising,
And think, “‘Tis only one more day.”
No man was made to live that way.
He has given us eternity.
We’re made to dance, and given hope.
We don’t hang by a fraying rope.
We are steadfast in our belief,
That we live under His mercy.
He has given us eternity.
So, jump into the raging seas.
You may drown in uncertainties,
But He stands on the shore.
Go, run to your true Father, for,
He has given us eternity.

whoa…that was Salem??? Praise Jesus. Loved it.
Whoa. Wow! That really encouraged my heart… please tell her for me. All I can think of now is that there is NO way that an ordinary 12(is that her age?) year old girl could muster this up…. only one that has the living and breathing Spirit of God in her could! Praise Jesus:)
Beautiful! What a blessing it much be to watch your daughter express her trust in God like that!
