Walking Through Each Day
This song reminds us that in disappointment, desperation, sorrow, exhaustion, and worries, we can remember that each day we are a step closer to Home. The lyrics call to 'take joy in the journey [Our time here on Earth.] / Even when it feels long / Oh, find strength in each step / Knowing Heaven is cheering you on'. God's timing is not ours, but in the grand scale of all time, we do not have long to wait before we get to spend thousands of years with God. It is here on this Earth that we can make impact for His Kingdom with the years we have away from Home.

Behold Him

Christmas
‘Behold Him' is a reminder that joy is possible. Even when you do not feel happy and you're going through emotionally painful experiences, you can 'Lift your eyes and behold him' (Jesus). He learned firsthand what human suffering and grief was like. No one else truly knows what you're going through, sometimes even you don't. The Christmas promise that is available to you all year long is that you can 'Feel the thrill of hope / You are not alone' whenever you're going through something hard and look to Him for help and for love in it.
