Good morning. Yes, it's time again for moments of melody. Five minutes to help you begin your day with a song. The story is told of a young man skilled in cabinet making. who during the months of his engagement to a young lady spent the evenings in his workshop carving and constructing exquisite home furniture. Often his fiancée longed for his company, but she stifled the expression of this desire, thinking, after all, he's doing all this for me. They were married, but even then he didn't change. As children came along he was busy constructing furnishings and toys for them. and finding ways to beautify the home. One day she could stand it no longer, and she turned to him and said, Don't you understand? I married you because I loved you. I wanted your companionship. I wanted you to be with me. I didn't marry you for the things you could make for our home. You mean more to me than furniture. And don't you suppose the Lord Jesus feels this way about us? He wants our service, but more than that, He wants us to spend time with Him. How? In prayer, as we speak to Him, in reading His Word as He speaks to us. I never walk alone. I have a Savior who walks beside me everywhere I go. My heart rejoices in his loving favor, and all who will his saving grace may know. I never walk alone. Christ walks beside me. He is the dearest friend I've ever known. With such a friend to confide and to God, I never, no, I never walk alone. I never walk alone in stormy weather. When winds are troubled, weep about my day. I know I'm safe because we are together. And around me is protecting love is friends. I never walk alone. Christ walks beside me. He is the dearest friend I've ever known. With such a friend to comfort and to I never, no, I never walk alone. And now St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians. Moreover, because of what Christ has done, we have become gifts to God that he delights in. For as part of God's sovereign plan, we were chosen from the beginning to be his. and all things happen just as he decided long ago.
