Joy Will Come from Family Legacy on Vimeo.
I love the song in this video by Desperation Band. It reminds me of Psalm 30:5, "For his anger is but for a moment,m and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning." Here is my favorite part:
What is this hope I feel?
It's helping.
What is this peace beyond understanding?
You fix the broken heart.
There's healing in Your wings.
The night should bring rest. But, for the orphans we work with in Zambia, all too often the night is the scariest time of their day. It is at night when they feel the pangs of hunger.
It is at night when they hear their mother, father, aunt or uncle stumble in from drinking too much. It is at night when they experience abuse.
It is our constant hope that we can impact their circumstances so that night time is truly a time for rest and not fear. But, we also have the great privilege of sharing with them the gospel of Jesus which literally promises new mercies and JOY every MORNING. The gospel we trust in brings light into the darkness - not only for a new morning but for a new life that leads to eternal joy.
That's why this video is my favorite! You can see this message taking root in the hearts and minds of the children we work with. Watch their eyes. Watch their smiles. That is joy that only comes from Jesus.
Blessings,
Anne
