Day by Day

Every moment of this day His loving gaze was on you.
Each step you took, He walked by your side.
Every prayerful thought you had, He heard--and cherished.
Every need He provided with a Father's joy.
Every tear, He wept.
Every laugh, He laughed.
Every sin, He marked "Forgiven." And "Forgotten."
Every tomorrow, He has lavished with His love and rested on His wisdom..
All you cast on Him, He gladly bore--omnipotently.
All your silent stillness, He filled with His voice.
All your loving obedience caused His heart to whisper "Thank you, child."
Into this day's darkness, He sent His light.
As you labored, He gave strength--His strength.

You are His child. Born again into His family. Adopted into His family. Eternally secure in His family. A room in His house awaits you when your last day is complete and His will for you fulfilled.

'Day by day, and with each passing moment, strength I find to meet my trials here; trusting in my Father's wise bestowment, I've no cause for worry or for fear. He whose heart is kind beyond all measure, gives unto each day what He deems best, lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure, mingling toil with peace and rest."

"Every day the Lord Himself is near me, with a special mercy for each hour; all my cares He fain would hear and cheer me, He's whose name is Counselor and Power. The protection of His child and treasure, is a charge that on Himself He laid; 'As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,' this the pledge to me He made."

"Child and treasure" That's you. Every day.

"He whose heart is kind beyond all measure." That's Him--your Father. Every day.
