In the midst of my exams and problems with doubts, hopelessness and loneliness this song reminded me of God’s love and His Father heart. I am still learning that some problems are to big for me to face on my own and that is actually a good thing. It means I need to look and trust in God.
Colton I really want to thank you for your website, it really has been a blessing and much of what you have posted and written sticks with me today and has helped me in my walk with God. Thank you for allowing the Lord to use you.
