Psalms 116:6
The LORD preserves the simple;
I was brought low, and He saved me.
I often joke about this being my life vs.
Truth is: it could be.
It might even SHOULD be
When I need Him most, it is ALWAYS a matter of the basics.
There’s a story that Karl Barth was once asked what was the most profound truth he knew.
He responded:
Jesus loves me.
This I know,
for the Bible
tells me so
I tried to find where the quote comes from. The best I got was that it comes from an intern writing about a discussion he had, but even that source was third or fourth hand.
It may not be true.
But it OUGHT to be.
That IS the greatest truth of all time.
And it really is as simple as that.
The Lord LOVES THE SIMPLE.
When I am low, this one thing remains…
He loves me.
The Bible says so
